It was/is a Sky exclusive.
There is speculation that it may be coming to Virgin Media, mainly because the advert that I mentioned doesn't mention Sky, whilst advertising the availability of HD on the VM platform. Apparently, VM provide all the pre-roll ads, apart from 4OD and the i player, so VM must be aware of what the advert contains. |

Good news that BBC Red Button now has its own channel on 991 and the new Red Button HD channel is on 994 but what an odd decision to put them in the 900 section, which we all associate with being for radio stations.

The idea is you press the red button, not actually use the EPG, much like why they are very high up in the EPG on Freeview. They've put them in the EPG so TiVOs don't have to stream HD over the network connection, and V+/VHD users can see the HD Red Button content.

Interesting though, there's a lot of large gaps higher up the lifestyle section they could be filling. |

Not quite sure what you mean. Last night, as far as I could tell, the red button did not give the option of looking at the Springwatch cam but it was available on Virgin 991. Also, on Freeview the red button is on 301 not exactly "high up on the EPG" which starts at '1'.
The BBC want you to press the red button to access them rather than using them like a channel. 301 on Freeview is quite high up considering there isn't anything after the HD channels anyway. You can now record off the red button stream, but the idea is still that you press the red button, otherwise what is the point in calling them Red Button! |

It seems to be more of a BBC policy change, the Red Button streams have also been given EPG slots on Freesat.

I think Virgin should try to get everyone switched over to Tivo, at least for their main receiver.
It has so many advantages over the basic receivers and having a single standard makes rolling out new services far easier. At the moment, they have viewers with basic receivers, V+ receivers and Tivo. It must be awkward trying to keep everyone happy and everything working. Tivo has a lot of promise that hasn't been entirely fufiled yet. |

I would think it would be quite costly to swap out all legacy boxes, both in terms of new boxes and installation. Not to mention resistance from customers happy with their existing boxes and quite a few V+ box users with a large catalogue of unwatched recordings.
Cut non TiVo services down to practically nothing so that customers NEED a TiVo as their main receiver. It means more services are available that the customers can be charged for and the money comes back in. |
