Press Green

I'll come back when you change channels though - if you want it off
permanently I think you're SOOL

Buy an FTA receiver, because they never show the red button,
but you can get red button content by changing channels to
STREAM 0 ... STREAM 7.

On cable press blue

It's especially annoying if I'm making a recording for somebody.

I'd swear the thing auto-hides after 30 seconds on my BBC Freesat
channels. I have my box connected to the net, so often (not always) it
says "BBC iPlayer" instead of "Press Red" next to the red blob.

Maybe I'm pressing green without thinking! I think it depends on the
programme though.

Cheers,
David.

I've just tried a Humax Freesat box on various BBC channels: 1, 2, One
HD, HD, BBC News. In all cases "Press Red" is displayed on screen for 30
seconds. Pressing either Green or Back will get rid of it immediately.
