[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 1791, member: 174998"] and what the bleedin buggery is this announcement every five minutes on Sky News all about: "satellite viewers in the UK can press the red button on their handset for Sky News Active"...??? Have Sky found a way of updating all those Nokia, Manhattan, Echostar, Strong, & Humax boxes in use across the UK to run the Sky API? How on earth have they managed that? In fact, how have they even managed to ensure that all those different handsets have a red button at all? And why does the red button trick only apparently work for viewers in the UK? How can the software possibly know where I'm situated when I press the red button? Is it perhaps interpreting the quantum-scale changes to the infrared beam brought about by minute local variations in the earth's magnetic field? 2old [/QUOTE]
