You make me buy a licence to watch Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ live on the internet - if that doesn't make it a "platform" I don't understand why not (I no longer have a TV).
I can live without the text content on the red-button - which I guess is aimed at those without access to bbc.co.uk.
However I would love to watch Dragons Den Red Button coverage and the F1 Forum (while it lasts) but I can't - despite part of the licence fee which I pay for access to my chosen digital "platform" going to fund them. This is all the more frustrating when the commentators AND the website keep going on about how wonderful the Red Button coverage is.
Alternatively could you bring red button video to this "platform" too?
