It seems the BBC 1 South East keep sending whatever signal to make the red dot/dog come back on.

Or is it just me?

It is the same on BBC 2 England, BBC 3 & 4

Also on HD BBC Channels.

I could watch it in timeslip but then I will get the subtitle bug

Does it go away if you press the Green button like it does on Freevuiw

Indeed it does! - Thanks for the tip.

Is this going to be a permanent change to the red button dog?

If so I don't like it and always found it a pain on Freeview having to press the green rather than auto timeout.

Not good for some Plasma TV's also.

I just had it happen on BBCHD green worked, it dont go away automatically on freevuiw like it used to on freesat

I have asked the question if they have been playing on the BBC Red Dog Blog.

I noticed this red button message yesterday whilst using the HDR with BBC channels. The "press red" top right is there continuously and if I press "exit" - yes it goes away but returns after 5 seconds.
Sometimes I get "iplayer" with a red dot as I am connected to the internet.
Why the change?
I too have posted on the Red Button blog mentioned above.
I looked at freeview with my 9200T and the red dot message goes away after pressing green or after a certain time as it used to do on freesat.

Pressing OK twice gets rid off the subtitles

Thank goodness the press red dog doesnt seem to appear on any recordings.

Well, there would be no point as it wouldn't work!

I agree, though. There should be an option to completely disable the feature if you do not wish to use it,

Fortunately I hardly ever watch live so it doesn't really affect me.

There is on the humax boxes

Menu > system > diagnostics > press ok > Red green yellow blue green yellow blue > scroll down to 'MHEG Test' and disable it.

Thanks.

I'm going to do that now as last time I chanced upon a programme that I started to watch live the red button thing was driving me nuts for several minutes because I so rarely watch live I'd forgotten how to temporarily turn it off.

Won't that disable all interactive services - not just the "press red" message?

yep! as Jepson says it useful to disable it temporarily to avoid the distraction it causes when it's behaving erratically as demonstrated recently.

According to the BBC Blog they have changed the timeout values back....


My box is not on so I don't know if it is fixed.
