The BBC is launching a new version of its Red Button service, Connected Red Button, which will be connected to the web. Press the green button to save the setting before returning to your screen. Then, customize the icon, select On-Screen Icon Timeout, and turn it off. You can add or remove interactive features by pressing the Interactive (Red Button) icon on your Sky remote. Connected Red Button is only available if you are connected to the internet. If your television does not have MEG technology, you may be unable to use the Red Button. If you want to access the index for all the BBC Red Button items, go to channel 200 and select it. Only if your TV/set-top box supports ‘HBBTV’ can you connect your Red Button to it. After a public announcement, a red button logo may appear in the top right-hand corner of your television. Whenever you press the red button on your remote control, it will always be active. You can then select what you want to watch.
This will bring up a menu of all the live and on-demand content that is available for that show. To use the red button, simply press it on your remote control while you are watching a show. “Viewers can still access this information on the BBC website, BBC News and Sport mobile apps – as well as 24-hour news on the BBC News channel.The red button on BBC iPlayer is a great way to watch live and on-demand content from your favorite shows. “It’s always a difficult decision to reduce services, and we don’t take decisions like this lightly, but we have taken it because we have to balance the resources needed to maintain and develop this service with the need to update our systems to give people even better internet-based services. The closure of the service marks the end of the BBC’s teletext, 45 years after it began as Ceefax – a phonetic take on “see facts” – in 1974.Ĭredited as being the world’s first teletext service, Ceefax transmitted via unused bits of the broadcast spectrum and provided up-to-date news, sport and weather, along with reviews, quizzes, a children’s section and the latest TV and radio listings.Ī BBC spokesperson said: “From early 2020, viewers will no longer be able to access text-based BBC News and BBC Sport content by pressing red. A spokesperson said the service would be stopped in early 2020 as the broadcaster needed to channel resources into “even better internet-based services”.
