What is this increasing use of the press the green button for xxxxx, then. I get it blurted out during some commercials and programs on my Samsung voice, and wondered what it was, since selecting green seems to do nothing. I'm guessing its some form of text on screen that the set is unable to read.

On BBC Channels on Freeview a prompt comes up (for a few seconds)
inviting you to 'Press Green' to start watching the programme from the
start. Obviously it fires up iplayer automatically, and starts playing
the programme.
I've given up being fed up at "press red to view on
iplayer", or rather commenting on it - it still irritates me no end.

Red button is also the (only?) way to be allowed into 4K/UHD versions
of programmes ...

FreeView, I don't think any 4K/UHD is broadcast. But at least I've not
heard voice telling me to press red for 4K/UHD, whereas they're
_constantly_ saying it for iplayer.

For those with a suitable set, an internet connection, and the two
connected together.

If a cluttered desk is characteristic of a cluttered mind, what does an
empty
desk mean ?

I have tried the red button. It produces a menu but the iplayer does
not work. I assume an internet "smart" TV is needed. It works OK on a >computer connection but I don't to watch TV on my computer.

Well, it's not going to appear if you are not equipped with the former is

does any broadcaster use the yellow and blue buttons?
