Hi
You have a link on this page to TVCatchup for people to watch the BBC Red Button online, however for whatever reason the channel list at TVCatchup does not have the BBC Red Button listed
Possibly this is an error on the part of my browser, but if not could you please tell me why there is no Red Button Channel listed and/or give me an alternative link or links to enable me to watch the BBC Red Button online for free streamed to my PC?
This will be invaluable in a couple of months when the Olympics are being televised
With sincere gratitude for the wonderfull service that you give and in so doing freely share your hard-earned expertise in this field with all us lesser experienced and non-technically minded mortals.
Yours respectfully
StarlightStarlight Dreamwalker: When the "red button" channel is showing sport, you can watch that on the
BBC Sport - Sport page (see the "Live on the BBC") section. rossTuesday 31 July 2012 5:20PM
can anyone help. I can no longer access the red button on my TV. It has not shown on the screen for some time and therefore pressing red on the remote has no effect. Very frusrating during these Olympic weeks.
many thankskeiloonglimTuesday 31 July 2012 10:30PM
I have been wondering, does using the bbc red button to watch the olympics include an extra charge in feeChrisWednesday 1 August 2012 11:22AM
ross:
At about the same time on the 31st I was also getting a message saying the service was unavailable. This continues all evening. Does anyone know whether there was a problem at the BBC end or should we be looking closer to home for a solution?SubashWednesday 8 August 2012 9:42AM
Watford Will Catchup services on BBC Red Button become available on Freeview? = & Any other catch up services? NOT the "+1" or Ch 47.
Thanks & kind regards.
