Sky Sports Red Button

[GM1011]

Hello:  Sky Sports is part of my BE (EE) package.  

I have a BT YouView TV box and a BT YouView remote control.  To access the Sky red button, do I need a Sky box?  Or can I access the Sky red button without a Sky box?

Unless anybody knows differently, I think the red button function is a service on Sky boxes only.

I agree with @Mark39 , whilst third party channels can use the red button service the actual functionality of it is exclusive to sky hardware

Virgin has Sky Sports Red Button functionality, they also added the the newer Sky Sports Red button features to TV 360 and Stream a few months ago

Have you tried to locate the 'bonus streams' that are available via the NOW app through BT/EE boxes? They're the equivalent streams to Sky's 'red button' @GM1011
