I'm in Nottingham, post code NG3. I have wiped, retuned by Freeview TV (disconnected-reconnect aerial) and while I can get all the channels, I have still lost all my interactive services; the Red Button does not work at all. On the BBC News Channel the 'Press Red' icon NEVER appears; the Red Button does nothing (there's nothing wrong with the remote). Same on other BBC channels, including all the BBC radio stations (just black screens, no screen info); and the interactive services for ITV, Channel4, Channel5 don't work either. What's odd is another Freeview TV in the house has no problems with the Red Button. Frankly I'm getting pissed off; I use the Red Button quite a bit and I don't see why this should be happening.

Well as an update to my original problem, it seems Philips are aware of a specific Red Button issue and are offering a free repair service which involves an engineer coming to install software.
What a pain.

For some reason I cannot get any of the BBC Red Button services to work on my Freeview tv, even though there's a Freeview tv downstairs whose Red Button services are working fine. There's nothing wrong with the remote; the batteries are fine, and the buttons are ok. I just cannot get the Red Button services to appear. The 'Press Red' icon on BBC News no longer appears; the BBC radio channels are also without any interactive services (they play but just appear black with no screen info). I've also noticed that other interactive services on other channels including ITV and Channel4 no longer work, either.
I'm in Nottingham, and I've rescanned 3 times, finding 161 services (including loads of weird duplicates). None of which, apparently, are interactive. Am I going crazy, or is this deliberate and part of the switch-over? How do I get those services back?
