Where is this red button? I clicked all the red buttons on my remote but nothing happens.

You got to google to find out out how to enable the red button
First, google whether you model support toggle red button. If yes, then follow the instructions to enable the red button (google)
For my tv, i have to first watch say channel 5, then long press red button and it will enter toggle mode. Good luck

I am planning to buy tv. Can I confirm that tv with toggle red compatibility can also watch catch up tv / news like normal toggle?

i do not use toggle but i just test it for you.

I've side load toggle apk onto my Sony Android TV.

The interface from Toggle Red and the side loaded App are different.

The App also notified me for compatibility issue. But i ran it anyway. It can display TV channels. The only downside is i cant launch the app from my app folders but have to manually select it under set up. it is super inconvenient.

I recently bought a Philips Android TV. Comes with Toggle Red (via red colour button on remote) which I tested able to search for shows and watch catch up tv. :)

Thank you for testing it out for me. In this case, can toggle red watch catch up news and local variety show (for example ch5 news from yesterday or ch8 local variety from last week)?

One more thing I forgot to mention. I could be wrong.
Perhaps season toggle user can advise.
I’ve noticed loading via Toggle App is faster than via Toggle Red.

Toggle App use my wired home broadband.
For Toggle Red it is via my indoor digital antenna.

Please do check it out with seasoned toggle users to clarify.

Hi all. Is digital tv antenna a must to access Toggle app or Toggle Red? I just bought a new Sony tv X90 and tried to dl toggle app from play store but it isn’t available. If digital antenna is a must, any way to conceal it behind the tv (my tv is wall mount)? TIA
