Press RED - See RED!!
Is There any way of stopping the annoying 'press Red' logos - or for that matter the 'coming next' overlays? (In my experience pressing red either turns off the telly, or brings up 'please wait' - which will only go away when you pulling the power out of the back of the STB!) tia

Press the "back" button just the once and the "press red" will go away

Yes but it reappears a few minutes later or has it finally stopped doing that?

No, there is no way. It is only meant to be shown once per programme, when it is shown more that is because the channels are sending a 'show press red' command, so you could try complaining to them.

There's not much faults can do to fix this problem. It could be sent through to a 2nd line department but I'm not sure it would help, if it's annoying you that much it's worth reporting it.
I usually recommend pressing the "TV" button on the NTL remote it seems to do the job for me at home.

I believe its nothing to do with ntl its the broadcaster that puts this kind of info on the screen, just press the back button to get rid of it, its not like it covers the whole of the screen I bet it covers less than 0.5%.

Before the conspiracy theories start, this also happens on Sky.

You can set your Sky digibox to remove it after 30 seconds though

Re: Press RED - See RED!!
Ad I understand it, you are only supposed to see the press red once per programme, at the start, and when you initially tune to the channel, rather than every 5 minutes as has been the case since the new software was rolled out.

Re: Press RED - See RED!!
It's a bug and is being worked on. The only fix is to press "back" but like you say, it may return.
Nothing 1st line or 2nd line can do about it unfortunately.
