They exist and are transmitted, but unless you have a Panasonic Freesat TV, you can't tune to them.

Everyone is waiting on the BBC to write a front end to access the streams.

The BBC Electric Proms are not on the Freesat Red Button service this year - see the "Press Red" blog:

It's on iplayer and the electric proms website if it's any consolation.

The streams are transmitted as bog standard FTA streams. Only the Panasonic TVs can pick them up properly in non-freesat mode though apparently.

If you can, please post here how you did it It's only on a PC that you can save for later viewing, the PS3 (like the Foxsat will be, when/if it gets the iPlayer upgrade) can only display the streamed programme in 'real-time'. What a missed opportunity.

i've found that if you get the transmission with the blue menu button on instead of the red button, the blue button disappears after a while

Or it might be worth pressing the green button - on the normal channels this gets rid of the read button immediately.
