Politically though the will probably not there to support those in society who may need the help to make the switch compared to the analogue switch off a decade ago. However if I disable the internet I get red button (MHEG) by pressing text or red button. I think Freeview Play is almost standard now too - and technology moves on much quicker nowadays than it did even a decade ago. There is a lack of BBC red button services on Freesat and Freeview. Using Freeview on BBC channels pressing text it says No Teletext, pressing red button I get Red Button +. It's time for TV companies to make that last push - yes, they could in the short term have an interim SD only mux for the PSBs, but Freeview needs to future proof and switch to DVB-T2 across it's muxes - ideally that would mean more of the PSB channels in HD but in reality it would at least remove the simulcast channels, though just as with digital TV the main commercial players who may not be willing to put channels in HD immediately would want to ensure the spectrum isn't handed over to rivals, so would put holding content there. HD penetration was at 72% a couple of years back.
Freeview has been HD as standard for nearly three years now, and similar for Sky too. BBC Red Button currently provides one video stream to all platforms, which can be accessed directly from Freeview channel 601, Freesat channel 981.
