The CBeebies red button and how to switch it off!

If your house is anything like mine there's a fair amount of CBeebies action (probably more than there should be!).  I don't mind it too much  as most of the programmed seem reasonably well thought out and educational (although I have serious doubts about Kerwhizz and Everythings Rosey). The lack of adverts also gives it a big advantage over other channels.
There is one problem though, the bloody red button logo. The main CBeebies logo is nicely semi-transparent but the red button one seems to be as garish and bold as they could possibly have made it, which is bad news for plasma screen TVs. The good news though is that there's a very easy but badly publicised way to turn it off - the green button! One press when you first tune into the channel and away it goes, leaving your TV screen unblemished.
My Panasonic and I wish we'd discovered this trick a little sooner...
