Red button facility not working

Options
We have Samsung TV and humax freesat, and we use a "one for all" remote. We've never to our knowledge used the red button facility. However family staying asked how they access the Red button facility for olympics and we don't know. Yes, we've pressed the Red button beside the green, yellow, blue, to no avail.

    From what i remember, it will only work if you're watching BBC through the tuned in programmes on your TV, and not through the Freesat. It may be that the "one for all" isn't programmed to your TV for this function, and you may have to use the TV remote.

    It can be slow to load pages, depending on various things.
    It'll be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end....

    Only the latest Freesat boxes have the red button option

    Channels 980 hd and 981 SD are the red button channels.

    BBCi player gives access to the same content as the red button

    Which remote are you using, the TV's or the Humax remote?

    Also, as above, BBC iplayer will have the same content.
