There should be a specially designed page for the Red Button showing a nicely laid out schedule for every day of the week, presented just like the other schedule pages you have. If anything, it should be included on the iPlayer section with the Red Button having its own area. I own a web development company so perhaps you can contact me about this project...

We can only get Freesat where I live (no Freeview). We switched from Sky, who were trying to charge us to upgrade our Freesat-from-Sky card (grrrr!). But we are terribly disappointed by Freesat's service on the Red Button. I was looking forward to Springwatch/Autumnwatch and Chelsea Flower Show red-button programmes.
I've complained to Freesat, the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ, and the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Trust, but have yet to receive a response from any of them (although I am waiting for Freesat to call me back...).
At the very least they could provide these services via iPlayer - but no joy there either.
It annoys me even more when Freesat air stupid ads asking "What's the catch?" to switching to Freesat. Err... guys... the catch is that you get a much poorer service!

So I suggest you all get onto the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ about the Red Button service on freesat. Maybe I'll start a campaign...
