Channel 301 on my Freeview Box

[34064 Fighter Command]

Ok, so I'm on the BBC Red Button service last night on my Freeview box following the Radio 5 commentary and a screen pops up along the lines of :

" select arrow keys for commentary ........... "

Including an option for .........

" BBC Sussex Brighton vs. Crystal Palace "

But where are the Blue Arrows in the top right corner ?? There's nothing there.

My question is will this work when my analogue signal is switched off on the 08th and 22nd of this month, or does this only apply for someone with the likes of Freesat, Virgin Media or Sky.

Should still work.

Post 27 on this thread Commentary available on the Red Button tonight for those outside Sussex without Playe shows that it was possible to listen via free view last night.

Ah, Sky or Freesat only.

Thanks for that.

So that's another tick in the minus column for ' should I buy a DAB separates tuner ' then ( Tim Dellor on BBC Radio Berkshire had the nerve to say he thought we'd be relegated when I tuned in on boxing day ! The man's a fool ! Fortunately his co-commentator Jimmy Quinn had something more intelligent to say and Ade Williams had good things to say about Gordon Greer ).

However I'm not doing anything until I see the results after the February 22nd re-tune.
( I'm on the Hannington transmitter for any nerdy people out there and I presume most people here are on the Whitehawk Hill one at the Racecourse ).

Not looking forward to unhooking all those SCART cables at the back of the set either ! Using QED SQUART and the connection to my Sony VCR is as tight as a you know what so I need to make sure I don't break any pins.
