First Red button promise

A quick search gives the first mention of Red button services on TiVo for the BBC as being 16th Aug 2011.
Any advance or should that be reverse

Firstly it's nothing we don't already know. Secondly, you simply stated that "a quick search" brought up this info. I was merely (and badly, obviously!) wondering where you found this info.

But, like I said, this was already announced back in December.

Re: First Red button promise

I don't know they are. Do you? Only VM will know for sure.

(No. I don't count the negativity-bias found on forums such as this as "customers in general".)
