Sounds like you've got a software update to come. The Red button is now
for Anytime and HD channels are now at number 2 in the TV Guide page.

All i can say is the software programmers at sky cant be very good at
their job if they cant even provide a simple option to toggle the red
button on or off in the menu system .

They could, but if they did that the broadcasters would have to think
of a new way of annoying their viewers.

Ah, but DOG plus red button = twice the annoyance for little effort.
And if anyone is ever dumb enough to press the red button you can
bombard them with adverts for premium rate phone numbers that give
them a synopsis of what they are watching.
