Sky have delivered the first phase and the rest is on the way.
Actually it is at some addtional cost sky sports with sky is £20.50 and with vm £22.50 so vm customers pay extra for sky sports!

Also cricket which is supposed to be in phase 1 has appeared on the red button on vm only once ,even though there have been several occasions cricket has appeared on sky sports red button whilst not being made available to vm sky sports subscribers please explain that one away, seeing as cricket was supposedly on phase 1.:confused::confused:

I was one of the people who was concerned about the Red button, and eventually moved back to Sky, but not becasue of the Red button, but because I am paying nearly £40 permonth less now for Sky, that I did with VM.

I was one who thought they would never go back to Sky, but I did, and I'm glad.

I have many more channels, my internet is faster (I had 10mb with VM, my average speed now is around 16mb)

anyway the funny thing is, now I have full red button functionality, I don't use it, It is quite poor, and I don't think you are missing much.

Never say never 22-07-2011 22:06

If you're a sports fan the Skysports red button is a fantastic service offered at no extra charge.

I think red button is a great feature , I just wish the streams were in HD.

I would be happy to receive some sort of official confirmation from VM about exactly what content we will eventually get on Sky sports red button, I have seen so many different reports and so far it appears randomly.:(

I think I will consider joining Sky if the red button is not here for the football season, that will tip me over the edge and make Virgin Media lose custom (though I'll still keep my broadband with them)

The red button is going to be fantastic this year for the Champion's League.

Any updates on this? if it's been launched on the 29th July like Media Boy was told how come we haven't heard anything yet? or will it just magically appear with no announcement?
