The BBC has announced that Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat users will now be able to access its interactive "red button" services direct from the BBC HD channel.
"We've launched it in time for Wimbledon so BBC HD viewers can now benefit from the full Wimbledon 2009 service, including live scores, news and a choice of live action from the All England Club. But of course it's not just Wimbledon - under the red button you'll find our text service including news, sport, weather, children's and more, as well."
A few points to note include the fact that additional video found on BBC Red Button services will continue to be in standard definition, and Sky viewers won't see the "Press Red" notification because some digiboxes don't time these out.
