I think you may be confusing things a little here. This news relates to the (temporary) additional Red Button channels being made available during the summer, ie one additional SD channel and an HD channel for those who are able to receive HD. The Red Button channel (301) has never been away for BT Vision users. What has been missing since the migration to the new software is the Red Button text service. This is a BT issue and this announcement doesn't relate to that.

Apologies in advance if I've misinterpreted your post.

MJH1962 - You are correct in what you are saying.

There also will be an upgrade top the BT Vision+ "new look" firmware to bring back the "red button" later on this year - currently there is no date available for this.

So its temporary, like it was for The Olympics. Thanks for the correction, MJH.
