BBC Red button video now on Freesat
Freesat launched in May 2008.
The service has all of the BBC services that Freeview and Sky viewers have, but with a few exceptions.
Because the satellite interactive video streams were on a Sky
From today, the BBC now provides the video streams for interactive sporting and entertainment events.
They can be found by tuning to a BBC television channel on Freesat and pressing the red button on the remote.

Mary: This - Find out how to receive Freeview and Freeview HD | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice - shows the used channels, which leaves C32, C36, C37, C38, C41, C44, C46, C47, C50, C51, C52, C56, C63, C65 and C67 free.
I would probably try C51 or C37.

So where on my non-Freesat satellite box do I find the BBC red button transmissions? Can this be achieved?

George Buchanan: If your box supports MHEG5, press the red button, or the TEXT button.

It doesn't seem to support that - it's a Fortec star Passion+. The red button is just for audio channel selection. Can't the red button be tuned in to like any other channel?

George Buchanan: no, it is an MHEG5 service, not a audio or video service.

I am not very good with setting up so a friend connected my freesat box with a breaker so I can see i.player through my t.v. It worked for 2 days, but now the red button won't appear. Any ideas please? Many thanks. Harry

Harry Pope: I would suggest you try doing a "full system reset", but I understand there have been some issues with Humax boxes.

Lionel: The whole YouView service is in a state of flux at the moment, there is a section YouView | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice but I'm not doing more on it until YouView actually fix their service a bit more.
