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?

Yes it seems the BBC sports app is still in its infancy.

Also the App will steam HD content too including the 24 streams for the Olympics
