[mythtv-users] Unable to access BBC Red Button

Under TV Settings-›Playback OSD I just have 'Enable interactive TV' not 'Enable network access for interactive TV'. If I uncheck 'Enable interactive TV' I get no error messages but no red button either - I am presuming this turns it off completely.

Running fixes/0.27 (0.27.2-13) self compiled.

Freesat is working it's just I was trying the HD channels which don't
have any red button service.

Freeview red button will work if you turn the Interactive Channel stuff
off (TV Settings -> Playback OSD -> Enable network access for
Interactive TV).
