How does the ''Red Button'' feature actually work?

[Little-Monster]

I only started watching big brother from big brother 7 (bb 8 started my obsession) because of my age and ive heard of the ''Red Button'' feature but what exactly is it??? Do you choose what camera to watch? or is it controlled by Big Brother??

Thanks :)

Pretty sure it doesn't exist anymore. It was basically to watch BB Live on E4 in the day.

There isn't one anymore. Though in the early days it was multi-option in the latter days single.

Pressing the red button allowed you to view a live stream in the house. In early years, there were a choice of cameras, but that feature was discontinued.

The red button service was axed altogether after BB9.

Yeah you know you have a red button on the sky/broadband remote, you just went on E4 pressed the button and then waallaa you had 24/7 LF... I miss that :(

I miss it a lot -being able to control what you saw was one of the best features about Big Brother back in the day.

All it was was a quick link to another channel.

BBC red button, for example, just takes you direct to channel 301 on Freeview, but you can select channel 301 without any red button.

we have that in the us, you have 4 cameras to choose from. The only time it doesnt show it is during a task. But you have to pay like 15 bucks a month or something like that
