Re: BBC Red Button
LOVING red button this morning. My little boy really likes the in car view. Really good effort from the BBC. I've had cause to complain to them this week about their sport coverage, but they've got this right.

Re: BBC Red Button
Well so far my impressions of the new BBC apps is that the BBC new app is very impressive but at the moment the sports app still needs a lot of work done to it yet as all that is on there at the moment is F1 clips.

I so agree a LONG way from anything like the finished product. However as with all things what is the perception & what is the reality of what is promised are two different things. The V+ is still a far better platform for delivering this SERVICE!!!!

Given the track record. I would expect it to be completely up & running ( ie matching other sources) sometime mid 2013  So I guess you may just be right - How about early 2013 !
Along with my BB upgrade ( That`s a year plus away & I thought I planned ahead !!)

Re: BBC Red Button
The BBC are saying that the World snooker Championships will be shown on the red button on cable I wonder if the includes the new App?

Re: BBC Red Button
Pretty poor if this isn't available on TiVo yet it's available on older boxes they are trying to get customers to 'upgrade'

Re: BBC Red Button
If I had to guess I reckon it's down to the BBC's desire to have a consistent UI experience across all platforms. Not all other devices that have the News app and will get the Sport app can receive the TV streams, so the BBC haven't included access within the apps yet, whereas they can all access internet video.

Re: BBC Red Button
It's pretty clear from the description as "BBC sport for connected TV" that this app isn't just for TiVo but is in fact probably the future of the BBC red button across all platforms. That simply can't be used as a stick to beat Virgin or TiVo with.

I am not "blaming" Virgin or in fact, the TiVo box for the lack of uses on the red button.
I can point the finger at Virgin for one of the BIGGEST hyp over substance I have seen in years 
However to say that the BBC red button, is coming soon ,here all ready or up and running -however true the bare fact may be . Is very misleading.
Its somewhat like launching a new car with out its engine. Its here, it runs ( if you push it!) .You can play with it ,however its NOT what most sane people expect when told that the car is launched .
Virgin seem to shoot them self's in the foot time & time again

I do not agree the TIVO box is coming along nicely and is getting better each month.
