Re: sky sports red button
 

l will just have to pop into the other room to watch certain events om my other box thats if l can get family members away from that room.

Re: sky sports red button
 

That is what you will need to do at the moment until it is fully released on all the boxes:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l am afraid l will have to.

Re: sky sports red button
 

At least you have another box to do it on, Imagine those who have not?

Re: sky sports red button
 

in that respect l have to agree with you but if Virgin keeps putting the prices up that box might have to go.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Do not forget that VM have had only one price increase in 2 years and all the others we down to SKY?

Re: sky sports red button
 

They could do with adding more channels though.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Not too sure as I am only able to watch one at a time?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Ah but l am a persistent channel hopper and have to change my remote control batteries all the time.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It's taken a lot less than a year to get it on the 19 other box models, so why do you think the one TiVo box will take longer?

Re: sky sports red button
 

how many other box models?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well Media boy mentioned mid 2012 and with Virgins vagueness do not expect it anytime soon.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Depends how you count, but about 19. I listed them here.

Re: sky sports red button
 

WHOA That is a lot there:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

It has been said that it could be August, but what then, trouble is VM is far behind the times, it could be months before this happens.

Everyone is arguing with each other on this matter, the Red button has been out a long time with Sky, but with VM we are still waiting, so when people watch Sky Sports, what the point when you don't have the technology that goes with it.

You would have thought that VM would have put news on the web site, but they won't. Said before VM is a long way behind Sky.

Re: sky sports red button
 

No l would not say Virgin are behind Sky as Virgin has strengths which Sky does not have and never will have like fibre optic broadband , tivo and much more video on demand then Sky.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Why are we a long way behind SKY as we have only had the red button a while:erm: And it is not fully up and running. VM are not a content provider and do not have the channels to do this on, so they have to wait for all the content providers to allow them to do this?

RANT OVER!!!!!!!!!

Re: sky sports red button
 

It has been on Sky for ages as they built it and implemented it on their platform . Work is underway as Spiderplant has said to get the service up and running for all VM customers , with TIVO boxes to follow.

Re: sky sports red button
 

The list is big didny think virgin had so many models

Re: sky sports red button
 

The red button is on at the moment on the Sky platform , Sky Sports 2 and HD2 is showing netball behind the red button :-)

Re: sky sports red button
 

It looks as tho it's coming from kelvin hall

Re: sky sports red button
 

And on Virgin too. :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes as I am watching it

Re: sky sports red button
 

Great news so why is everybody so pessimistic on here , this is a big plus point for VMTV , ok maybe not the netball but you know what I mean :D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Just an update the red button on Sky Sports 3 and HD3 on Sky is showing Golf Euro tour highlights I'm not sure if this is on VM.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks muppetman11 just had a quick look they are not on vm mate.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Right , to be fair it is only Todays highlights

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thats fair enough think it will take a little while yet before its all up and running.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Defo , just getting the red button is a massive plus for VM.

Re: sky sports red button
 

its good thats its on but netball is not for me.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I quite like the naked netball on channell 492.:)








..... or was I dreaming that. :o:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Do not let your partner see it then.

Re: sky sports red button
 

spoken to virgin today they said were not getting the red button for football till next season

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thats the one bit of info that has been known all along.

Re: sky sports red button
 

l thought that was DF told us a while back.

Re: sky sports red button
 

So old firm fans that have vm might not be able to watch there team because 1 game will be behind the red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

As long as its not my team then thats ok ;) Although I don't think Sky have ever put either of the Old Firm on the Red Button.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It will happen last day of season

Re: sky sports red button
 

l doubt it.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I can see it been the day after the last day of the season:D:D:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes highly likely knowing Virgin.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sky Sports live games

This tells you what you need to know

Re: sky sports red button
 

I suspected Sky might throw a few games behind the red button at the end of the season but only because they have been doing this for years. I doubt it's to annoy Virgin customers.

I agree it's annoying but it's no different to the last decade or so, I am sure next season will be fine.

Re: sky sports red button
 

So probably it will be the Rangers match on red button as the Celtic game is listed first ;)

It's also on Sports 4 so VM can't see it in HD:(

Re: sky sports red button
 

It might be done and dusted before the last day if Celtic can't raise their game.:(

Re: sky sports red button
 

Does that not surprise you:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Isn't it the case that many SPL games have been broadcast on SSP4 this season anyway?

If I am wrong I apologise but I seem to recall they have, in fact hasn't that been the case for quite a while?

Re: sky sports red button
 

I think you're right except for the old firm games. They were all on SS1.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Looks as tho it will be pub for me last day of the season

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes you are correct in this , But as just stated the old firm games have been on SS1/2 to my knowledge. But I stand to be corrected?

Re: sky sports red button
 

According to the sky sports website the game will be on red button, celtic game should be on red button as there at home

Re: sky sports red button
 

l cannot see it being on the red button this season.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Shouldn't the red button be on SS1 now on the rugby Army v Navy?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Starting to see my bottom over this red button thing. Is it working or is it still in testing. :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

its in phase one because phase two comes in August l suspect.

Re: sky sports red button
 

So will vm customers not see whatever game is behind the red button on 15th of may?

Re: sky sports red button
 

l doubt it.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Probably not but who knows.? if its football you mean i do not think any football will be on Red Button before the 2011-2012 season from august on vm.

Re: sky sports red button
 

But why it could be vital games for title

Re: sky sports red button
 

Because Sky haven't yet completed the red button application for VM. They are only showing some of the events.

Out of interest (from one of your earlier posts), why does Celtic playing at home mean they should be on the red button?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Because before the split whichever of the old firm plays at home they very rarely get on tv so should be same for any game during split

Re: sky sports red button
 

IIRC on previous last day deciders they've usually put the team at the top going into the last match on the "main" channel.

Re: sky sports red button
 

In that case it will be teddy bears aka rangers

Re: sky sports red button
 

Certainly looks that way at the moment. If Celtic repeat their ICT perfomance against Killie or Hearts it won't matter a jot.

Re: sky sports red button
 

On Sky, you normally have several games on the red button on the final day, as the games must start at the same time.

It could be the same with the old firm games, but l would doubt that very much, as the outcome is always the same, its either Celtic or Rangers that win, so to me there is no point of the red button.

Thats what wrong with Scottish football, there is only two games that Tv always show.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Am guessing from his username he supports the other team lol.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Theres only one team in Scotland and thats Brechin.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Who the hell are Brechin ?.

Re: sky sports red button
 

They're like Real Madrid but they're masters of disguise. If people knew how they could play the stadium would be too small.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

The best football team in Scotland compared to those underperforming old firm teams who l have done nothing against the big teams outside Scotland for years.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Why they in second division then?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Because the second division is better than the predictable premier division.

Re: sky sports red button
 

And how has Brechin done against the big teams (inside or) outside Scotland lately?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Is there a list of red button events somewhere? It would be nice to know when I can check my service.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Remember its david versus goliath so in terms of the size of the clubs Brechin punches well above its wait while the other two meander along.

Re: sky sports red button
 

How about answering my question - how have they done?

Re: sky sports red button
 

They have done very well compared to the old firm in my mind.

Re: sky sports red button
 

And in anyone else's mind?

For instance, are Brechin in the same football league as the Old Firm? If not, they can't be playing as well, can they?

Have they played in Europe lately, or at all? If not, as above?

Have they any players in an full international team?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Seems a touch off topic tbh and a little childish. Den winds you lot up in his reel again:D


Oh and up the hoops!:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

No red button on VM for the first half of the Barca game then?

Re: sky sports red button
 

I thought that this thread was about the red button an not Sectarianism:erm:

Whoops and sorry about that :(

Re: sky sports red button
 

What sectarianism?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Here you are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectarianism

This is the main cause of violence in the Rangers / Celtic games:(

This on it in Glasgow:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectarianism_in_Glasgow

Re: sky sports red button
 

Who mentioned violence or made any sectarian comment?

I suggest you look up doughnut

Re: sky sports red button
 

No one mentioned it:confused:

I did and it came up with a face that i did not know:confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

So why did you say that you didn't realise this thread was about sectarianism?

Re: sky sports red button
 

They mentioned the OLD FIRM and with my fathers family been from Scotland, Thats why. Sorry if I caused offence to anyone:(

Re: sky sports red button
 

No problem, it's wrong to conclude that if you support Celtic or Rangers that you are a bigot. It's lazy stereotyping and mildly rascist

Ps anything on Virgin red button?

Pps any sign of the baby yet?

Re: sky sports red button
 

And Glasgow Rangers nearly went into administration but look like they are going to be bought by a new owner.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I am not my Father is a Dundee United fan:confused:

Not to my knowledge ( which is limited ):D:D:D

They are going to try and set my partner off on Wednesday:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

What that mean?

Re: sky sports red button
 

If you read the above it will give you a clue as my partner is due to give birth any time soon:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

They already have been it took place last week.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Not quite as l hear there are last minute hitches.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Erm it is about the red button. We were discussing who out of Celtic and Rangers would be on the Red button for the final game of the season.

There was no sectarianism related posts at all. :confused:

Not according to this

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l missed that last piece of information.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I had a courtesy call off Sky 7-10 days ago , to see how my service was going , I got talking to the guy and he stated Sky were looking to launch loads more HD and said something about hearing rumours of another Sky Sports HD channel . It was CS so maybe pinch of salt applies .

Re: sky sports red button
 

Customer services sometimes makes things up just to try to make customers stay with them l suspect.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I agree pal , there are threads on DS though about clashes with sports on a regular basis , and the need for a new sports HD channel. I'm not saying it will defo happen , however there's a possibility.

Re: sky sports red button
 

l bet us cable customers will have a longer wait for any new channels.
