Re: BBC Red Button
Glad it's here but myself, I only use it for sports multi stream as i find using freeview MUCH quicker to read the news and sport.
On the subject of sports streaming, have we had any more news on linear channels for the Olympics multi streams we can record?

No l thought it was quite quick and remember it is much more graphics rich and has plenty of video content on it as well to load.
