Another low res 544x576 red button stream for freeview then.

If so, then it's a temporary stream and needs national coverage (so that puts COM7/8 out of the question). Few other places where it could go.

BBC Red Button 2 will be good if it was permanent, More choice for the viewer but I don't think so.

It would only be permanent if the BBC had more money and they had use of both there MUXs as DVB-T2.
If they did they could then do their 7 main channels (5 streams) in HD, taking up the space of one MUX and have space for 5 24hour HD channels, 15 24hour SD channels, or a mix of the two, with their radio streams taking up the space of 1 SD channel!

Connected Red Button will ultimately see to it that there will be no linear Red Button streams needed. (We are talking end of the decade here)

If they could incorporate iPlayer Radio into Connected Red Button, then radio can go that way in the next 10 years.

If they incorporate Democracy Live into Connected Red Button, then BBC Parliament can be replaced with Democracy Live...

And if more frequencies are given over the mobile internet, then almost everything will be online...!

Can't find my channel 303 thread but what is supposed to be going on here? no olympic coverage in HD looking at the next weeks EPG.

The BBC would need to rent out additional DTT spectrum for such a service (at some cost, considering the engineering work that would be required as well) for such a short-term service), and as there is no space availahe existing DVB-T2 mux, the only viable muxes would be either of teh two temporary muxes (COM7 or COM8), and neither MUX has even 50% coverage at the moment.

So it would be a non-starter.

Yup, we've Red Button and Red Button 2 but no HD stream for these games.

See schedule at http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/winter-olympics/25213838

And Red Button page 998.

It would be nice if they added latest news and medals table to the red button channels.

I had a look at 302 sometime after midnight, and it was an MHEG caption.

However, the EPG listed Six Nations.

From midnight to 3am it closes down (for ADULT PARTY I assume).

Thanks for that

So it's from when Adult Party comes on, until Dave goes off.

So it closes to make way for a channel to show a load of porn?

That's how the Daily Mail might put it, but the adult channel was there first and the BBC are just renting free space which isn't linked to any existing stream.

what mux is the extra red button on? I'm on Wenvoe and cant seem to find it!

It should be on COM5/ArqA, UHF channel 45.

http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/industry/...annel_listings is your friend.

If you have already scanned for new channels, check the 800 range. The channel could have been thrown into that range as your equipment would already have allocated LCN 302 to the version on the BBC A multiplex. The BBC A version should have moved to LCN 303.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/aboutthebbc/ins.../redbuttonfaq/ has has a makeover

The Winter Olympics will soon be over and at 6am on Monday morning we'll be saying goodbye to 302 again.

302 - This is BBC Red Button
303 - This is 302

Page 998 will be updated again then, I would think

Not over yet as it's still streaming on 302.

BBC red button 302 now off the air with service not available.
