Sky red button on NTL

Hrududu · 2011-03-13 14:50:37

Does anyone know if the various Sky red button feeds are broadcast on any NTL channels? I think you can access some of the feeds on one of the freeview channels but was wondering if you could do the same with an NTL box.

The red button on the UPC box works on Euronews for teletext type headlines. It doesn't work for Sky to my knowledge?

No it doesn't work. Sky would have to port their red button apps from OpenTV to whatever OS UPC use (not sure which one) and it's unlikely they'd be willing to do that. Euronews and the UPC promo channel are the only channels on UPC with red button functionality.
