Incorrect.

Sky provide the content and and Virginmedia with there "closed" network insist they must provide the portal/application to access the content.

Strange then how it was the BBC who developed the iplayer app.

Sorry but we have no information regarding this at present.

To be honest, we usually find out about these things at the same time as it's announced to our customers."

You shouldn't be posting the contents of private messages.

Or as I suspect, are you taking a date that's been rumoured to have been launched, then 'epic failing' Virgin based on a date they never themselves said?


So did red button launch?

The red button problem with VM and the promises they make, and the 'promise' that the red button will be available for the football season is a load of pony.

This is why l stick with Sky, l was seriously considering going fully yo VM for the sports, everything, but they cannot gurrantee the red button for the football, so l will stick with Sky.

I have been with them since analogue days and so far, they have been pretty good, yes l do pay a lot of money for Sky - but they keep there promises.

I have a funny feeling that the RED BUTTON will only be available and selective for the football and not the FOOTBALL TONIGHT item that l like.

It would appear the F1 will end up with red button coverage.
