There is only one feed via the red button and is the same as the web feed.

Do you have a red button on BBC or Channel 4? If yes, I would e-mail Sky and/or C4 and ask. If no, maybe they do not offer it in RoI. Just a guess though.

I don't think the red button service is available in Ireland due to it being a different feed of E4 (Irish Adverts).. do a search and you will probably be able to confirm this.

as you may know BBCi is avalable, sky new(ireland) is avalable,
ch 4 is not itv 1 and 2 and ch5 is not,

I'm sorry to say that it isn't available. Its due to the irish version of E4 being on a different satellite to the UK version.

When I select E4 with the Irish adverts no interactivity is present. So maybe that is why. And ITV1, 2 and five are not meant for RoI which is probably why there is no interactivity there. As BBC is FTA, the red button is available to everybody.

Is this your first year watching Big Brother, because Ireland hasn't got interactive on E4 since BB3
