It certainly appears that way , disappointing I suppose , I'm sure many on Sky have made use of the red button facility at some point , that said the BBC has that little sport these days can't say I use it apart from for F1 on rare occasions which could very well end up wholly on pay TV at the end of its current contract so not a biggie for me however I'm sure it will be for many Sky users.

Daniel Danker, the BBC’s general manager of on demand, could not say whether the Connected Red Button will be available to Sky subscribers, because BSkyB's is less "open" to outside content providers than Virgin Media.
WOW! Mr. Danker should read the comments posted on the Coming Soon thread. I don't think any Virgin customer would agree with that statement.

Re: BBC Red Button
What i'm now wanting to find out is when a program says some thing like 'Press the red button for alternative commentry' or 'Press the red button to take part in the program' will those features actually now be available to Tivo.

Re: BBC Red Button
Hallelujah, finally at last! I can now watch multi channel streams for sports like snooker, wimbledon. This was my only bugbear from going from V+HD box to Tivo so it's good to have it finally resolved on the Tivo now. Although I noticed it seems to be driven by internet as you get the spinning disc every now and again when it buffers, so that might be a problem when we have network issues.

Of course due to the older Red Button changes, TiVo can access to more live sport content that all the other platforms
