Digital TV & the RED button

[YoungBlood]

Anyone know why when using a TV Card that recieves digital channels like E4, I don't get the RED button interactive feature.
You know how it goes, when you watch sky/freeview and your watching, say BBC1 you can press the red button and go interactive.
Is this simply a feature than PC TV Cards cannot do?
Despite the remote having a red button, I don't get the "press red" icon come up in the corner of the channel I am watching.

I just dont understand how I can be watching a digital stream but not have access to the red button, not a huge issue but there are times, usualy during sports when the red button is the only way to see a certain game being played.

Any advice on this?
It's a WinFast DTV1000 if it helps.

Because it's an effort to implement the MHEG-5 decoder. You don't have Digital Teletext either, I wouldn't imagine.

It's the same with Media Center - it's just laziness on their part. MHEG-5 isn't used in the US, so they don't bother coding it for us Brits.

The only software I've seen that does it is the Nebula stuff - only works with the nebula cards though.

Has anything changed with this?

Are the Nebula cards still the only cards that can call up BBCi on a PC?
They seem pretty pricey compared to other manafactures, but if there the only cards that can do it then so be it.

No 3rd party software available for the Leadtek cards to somehow get it to pull up BBCi?.
