"21 seconds to load" Ambiguous and as work has been done to improve speeds the "takes 21 seconds to load" is not only wrong but also impossible to quantify as 'speed' on BBCi would be different on the 3(4) platforms - on digital satellite ? freeview (dtt) or on dcable (telewest or NTL ?)
Hi - I am the social media executive for BBC Online. Would it be possible to add a link to the BBC Red button area on the BBC Internet blog to the related links section of this article?
Here's the link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/red_button/
Incidentally the top link in the related links section is broken.
Thanks

Image:BBCi (logo).gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I see the page has jumped around between BBC Red Button and BBCi. I can't keep up! We should probably leave everything on BBCi for now.
It's true that the on-screen TV interface still carries BBCi branding, but the TV trails and websites do refer to "BBC Red Button" - so it looks and sounds like the branding has fallen into a bit of a grey area until someone gets around to commissioning a new logo. Interestingly there are no press releases or news pages that mention the rebrand. It's worth flagging that up as a discussion point before someone jumps in and changes the page back again, as we should hold off until there's an official launch.

The BBCi brand appears to have gone from the on-screen TV interface now. I'm not sure if the rebrand is complete yet. An anonymous editor set about changing some BBCi references to BBC Red Button, but the article got a bit confused as a result. I've reverted most of those changes but have added more text to support the Red Button info, as I understand what they were trying to achieve.
So the question is: is it time to move the page yet? Cnbrb (talk) 13:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Well spotted! Well I would favour a page move in the near future on condition that

The brand 'BBC Red Button' is still current, and is referenced in the upcoming Red Button schedules both here: [1] and here: [2]. Although the branding is not consistent on the Red Button applications themselves, this is more a legacy technology thing. BBCi is quite possibly an old reference to the 'BBCi Browser' software that powers the red button content pages. - David Craddock / Red Button Software Engineer - 24th September 2011
Er, it is usual to discuss a page move before moving.
I'm not at all convinced that "BBCi Red Button Service" is an accurate name for this. I've never heard it used by the BBC anywhere, so I'd really like to see where this term is used. BBCi appears to have been dropped. Cnbrb (talk) 09:29, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
At least, as of this date - 30 July 2011, the BBC website no longer carries any major mention of BBC Red Button. Its last mention was as a BBC Red Button Policy 2009/2010. Even BBCi is only now mentioned in a more historical perspecvtive, as being a Statements of Programme Policy BBCi Policy 2008/2009.
Links now redirect to the Digital Homepage ... here .... which now links you outside the BBC to the UK Digital Switchover website here
Onair and some some sport page references now relate more to the physical button, red in colour, that activates interactive services on many stations - not hust BBC. --Keith 12:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Not sure what you mean here. It's mentioned on this page, at least: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/athletics/15971129. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.185.68 (talk) 15:52, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Does this really happen or do viewers simply select content, the way one does with other TV-channels and text-services? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 08:02, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi @Bbb2007:, @Davey2010:, Thanks for your attention in the recent edit war. It turns out that the user accounts who were forcibly inserting sections about BBC Three etc were all sockpuppets and have been permanently blocked. I don't know if there was any genuine rational for inserting that information - it could have some merit, but it did need discussion, so you were right to revert. Cnbrb (talk) 10:22, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
