None of the BBC's statements on the matter (including a reply to my email to them) have made any mention of numbers of users. A more worthy beneficiary I cannot imagine.Įxtremely sad about this since I still have the teletext-esque Red Button. The BBC are saying that it would cost too much to keep the old one going, and that its removal will free up room for the Freeview-delivered, overnight service of the Scottish-language radio station BBC Alba.
You'll notice that this one konks out if you (e.g.) turn off your router. The posher one you see is the HBB one - that is your TV/box being used as a (frameless) web browser to show a special version of the BBC website. That's the one that is going, though its ability to switch between services (e.g. The older one you see is the MHEG-delivered one, which is basically a sort of bespoke HTML-like language (but with no pictures).
One is a more UI friendly version, and the other is the older red button UI with fixed menus (like the picture in the bbc article).Īre these 2 versions the same just presented differently, or is the more friendly UI one taken from a version of the BBC website? If so then is this article just saying the old version will be shut off? I've noticed that on my smart TV there are 2 versions of the red button.
