Freesat Red Button services

Trevord · 2008-12-10 21:48:37

Wondering what the extent of the Red button faciliities on Freesat extents to at present. Ignoring access to HD content, my understanding is that the Red Button gives you access to BBC interactive (which isn't at all bad in itself) but are Red Button services available from any other channels through a Freesat box?

Red button gives
- text-based news, sport and weather
- sport multi-screen, up to 6 different streams to choose from. Can be excellent when sport in on that is covered by the BBC e.g. Olympics, Rugby Internationals etc.
- Subtitles etc

On HD boxes:
- "Watch BBC HD" - same as changing to channel 108
- ITV HD on ITV1
