A simple answer to denphone is Yes, a longer time than you think.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l suspect so.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Or COMING SOON :D

Re: sky sports red button
 

IF IF IF IF IF that happens, don't Sky have to make it available to BT, VM etc anyway...competiton laws and all that don't ya know???

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes they should do but then they set up new channels and ask outrageous carriage fees in return for the new channels.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Pass not sure on that, I think the OFCOM deal is only for Sky Sports 1 and 2 HD , hence no 3 and 4 HD.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Due to Ofcoms weakness Sky are still riding roughshot over Virgin with regards to new channels, they should be forced to sell their channels at a price set by a independent body and if Ofcom cannot do that then appoint someone who can.

Aside from one of them being the only team I can think of not to concede a goal at Old Trafford this year.*

* I'll freely admit I don't follow football religiously so if someone wants to correct me then feel free.

Re: sky sports red button
 

But they hardly put 2 passes together and l think the Man Utd keeper fell asleep as he never had a save to make.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I'm sure Brechin City would have challenged them more.




(shame we'll never find out....:D)

Re: sky sports red button
 

No doubt about it and with you as a possible transfer target they can only get better.

Re: sky sports red button
 

When you state "no doubt", I think you may have mis-spelt "possibility" after the "no":D

I have as much chance of playing for Brechin as they have of playing against Man U......

Re: sky sports red button
 

What a Messi type legend like you.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Is there anything on the red button in the next month on VMedia?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Your guess is as good as mine.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Dust;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

so there is spanish football on ss1 now. But I can't watch it

Do we really have the red button?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Football on Sky Sports Red Button on Virgin TV will be added in ''Phase 2'' in July.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes there was match highlights and stats from City v Tottenham , and La Liga game.

Re: sky sports red button
 

There doesn't seem to be on my V+

I don't have HD though

Is there lists of sports we DO get currently?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sorry mate crosswires I was answering the previous poster , I was quoting off my Sky+HD box , I think the footie kicks in on VM next season.

Re: sky sports red button
 

What the hell is Phase 2, we haven't had phase 1 yet.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Phase 1 has launch - For Tennis and Netball.
Phase 2 will launch in July - For Football.
Phase 3 launch date TBD - For TiVo viewers.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks for this

I haven't had any red button services on the madrid masters tennis yet though (tried today)

Also, do you know when it will be available on rugby?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Will phase 2 include the pre season tournaments?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Super League Rugby will be on the Red Button in the next few weeks.

---------- Post added at 23:22 ---------- Previous post was at 23:21 ----------

Maybe some of them.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Pre-season tournaments don't normally go on the red button anyway as I recall.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Lets hope so.

Re: sky sports red button
 

In the 2 months we have had Sky I have never seen any Red Button coverage of Super League, The upcoming schedule dosen't say there will be any either.

I have seen Super Rugby Red Button coverage though but that is a different competition (Union).

Re: sky sports red button
 

That's correct Super League (Rugby League) isn't on red button , however I believe you can watch after match analysis on sky sports extra online , but I believe that's only for Sky customers.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Theres been nothing so far on Rugby League.

---------- Post added at 12:15 ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 ----------

On Sky Sports 3 now on red button is Masters tennis match choice.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well Virgin Media says Sky Sports Red Button will broadcast ''the Rugby Super League in May''.

See link - http://help.virginmedia.com/system/s...CUSTOMER_TYPE=

Re: sky sports red button
 

Excellent detective work Watson.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I have found the following on that link using ''Live on Sky''

May:
Sat 21 - Waratahs v Lions (press red button or view online) 10.30am - Super Rugby
Sat 21 - IRB Sevens - London, Day One (continues on red button from 1.30pm) 10.30am - IRB Sevens
Sun 22 - IRB Sevens - London, Day Two (continues on red button from 3.00pm) 10.30am - IRB Sevens
Sun 29 - IRB Sevens - Murrayfield, Day Two (continues on red button from 2.00pm)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Watching the footy last night (city v spurs) the sky guy said that their was Spanish football on from 9pm via the red button,so I thought `hey I`ll give that a go as I`ve not seen this red button thing working yet` Tried it and nothing happened! Can someone please explain why? Was it only available to sky`s own customers? Or only on sky sports hd?

Re: sky sports red button
 

It is a work in progress at the moment and should be fully up and running by the start of the next football season.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Because we are in phase one of the Sky red button launch which will include some sports and phase two is coming in July- August and will include football.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Live masters tennis sky sports 3 now on Red Button on VM working very well choice of matches to watch.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes thats great.

Re: sky sports red button
 

If it works as well for the football as it seems to do for cricket/tennis then people will not be disappointed thats for sure come august,and before that the rugby.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Whether your anti Sky , Pro Sky or whatever you can't argue with their sports offerings.

Re: sky sports red button
 

l have never argued with their sport offerings but remember they have bid a absolute fortune to get those rights.

Re: sky sports red button
 

there's going to be a lot of annoyed customers on sunday in the scotland area, rangers game on the red button while celtic are on ss4.

Re: sky sports red button
 

No totally agree with that muppetman11,all i was disappointed with in the past is missing some of what i wnated to watch on Red Button, apart form that the sports/movie offerings is where skys big subscriber base is i guess,plenty of people i know say if it were not for the sport they would not sub.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Evidence of this please and not just the live on sky link

Re: sky sports red button
 

erm

I have not got any red button working for this

nothing is happenning. sky sports 4 now right?

Re: sky sports red button
 

No red button on the night session!

Re: sky sports red button
 

oh for goodness sake It's going to be 2015 before I can test this out!
:dozey:

Re: sky sports red button
 

LOL...take a sicky tomorrow, you can play with it all day ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Are you still talking about sky sports interactive?
:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

:p: :angel:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Indeed but none of those games are Super League matches. Super Rugby is an entirely different competition and code, it is Rugby Union.

There is no red button coverage of Super League as far as I am aware.

---------- Post added at 19:51 ---------- Previous post was at 19:48 ----------

Sky have not confirmed this as far as I know but they have said one of the games will be on red button. Merely because they will be top before the final match kicks off I would guess Rangers will be on Sky Sports 4, then again Rangers could be crowned champions tonight anyway so it may not be a major issue.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12942,00.html

Re: sky sports red button
 

indeed. Union is what I am after.

And I would bet that the VMedia press release has super league as a typo. They mean super15 rugby.

I think.

Re: sky sports red button
 

You are correct the Rugby League schedule is listed below and no mention of Red Button

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12944,00.html

State of Origin is what I'm waiting for.

Re: sky sports red button
 

There is often Rugby Union red button coverage on SSP, particularly Super (15) Rugby so you will enjoy it when it fully launches.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yep.

The super 15 and the Heineken cup rugby is the only reason I started this topic really.

Champions League is a bonus too.

Re: sky sports red button
 

other way around rangers on ss4 and celtic ss4 via red button just seen it on the celtic match coverage

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yup, it was bound to be that after Rangers victory last night ensured they would go into the last day on top.

I don't suppose the Celtic V Motherwell game will be the first British football game available through red button on Sky :(

Re: sky sports red button
 

So will the Celtic game not be available on vm on sunday then?

Re: sky sports red button
 

No more like 2050 l think.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It dosen't look like it.

I am sure if Celtic win the title they will show the presentation though but Kilmarnock v Rangers is definitely on SSP4.

Re: sky sports red button
 

You'll probably get updates of main incidents from Parkhead, like goals, penalties, managers being assaulted etc. ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

That is sick saying that you'll get updates ofmanagers getting assaulted.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It was obvioulsy a joke, get over yourself.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Still wasnt funny

Re: sky sports red button
 

As Mobes said it was intended to be a light hearted aside.

However, as newsworthy incidents go, there have been far more replays of the assault than of any of the goals.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I got it too. Finally! Even if is not working very weel I have to say, but happy to see it on! :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes lovely to have something on the red button now.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I didnt think red button would have been availble at rome but I am so happy it is availble

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes it was available yesterday.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I know it was but I am surprised it was availble

Re: sky sports red button
 

At least its a start, phase 2 will follow in early August.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I am not complaining

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yay.

red button at last!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes its been there for the last 2 weeks for some sports.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Hope the Celtic game is on this Sunday (red button event)

Re: sky sports red button
 

I do hope that they do test it out on the football before next season. So this would be one of the best as the PL seems to be almost sewn up:confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

l doubt it.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I have got no info that time of posting.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Still can't get red button to work in Larkhall, can't get On Demand Programmes in Larkhall, Still getting very annoyed.

---------- Post added at 22:32 ---------- Previous post was at 22:25 ----------

Just phoned Virgin Media (Indian Call Centre) and advised them of the Red Button problem and Limited On Demand Service that I have had for some time now and he advised me that Engineers are aware of a Network problem in my street and that it's going to be resolved by 9.00am in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He can't give me any details who logged the call, when it was logged and/or if the issues being encountered by someone are the same. Do you think I have been palmed off?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Indian call centres are pointless

Re: sky sports red button
 

You get more sense phoning your Indian take away for advice.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Looks like the guy was telling the truth but only for the Missing On Demand Content - still hanging in the wind for the Red Button.

Might just move to Tivo if it's the V+ HD Box that's the problem. But as I posted last week what king of organisation releases a product/value add that won't work on a style of unit. My reading on the VM community forum is that a lot of people who have this box encounter constant crashes and therefore reboots

How do I now explain to my wife that there is a five minute break in her recording of House!!!!!! Sorry love was pfaffing around testing the red button again that I know doesn't work

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l agree with that.:mad:

Re: sky sports red button
 

:D:D:D :LOL: just about.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Theres no doubt about that.:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

is there a list anywhere as to what programs - esp live cricket - that will carry the red button

Re: No Sky Sports red button on Virgin Media ??
 

We switched from Sky to Virgin Media because their internet connection is so much better. There "on demand" is excellent but I do think Sky have a better TV package as you cannot get Sky Atlantic or Sky HD channels on Virgin media. I paying for the XL package which includes Sky and it is infuriating that they do not make available important games such as the Celtic v Motherwell game on Sunday.

I have nothing but praise for Virgin Media Customer Services. They sort out problems quickly and will replace a faulty box at no extra charge. Sky except you to pay insurance for their boxes and their Customer Services is very poor.

I will not switch back to Sky as a result of their blackmailing techniques. Virgin Media for me even if I cannot watch certain Sky channels - though I am tempted to cancel the Sky Sports channel and I would if ESPN showed all the SPL games.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Any such list would probably have all red button content on SS but this won't all be available via red button on VM

Re: sky sports red button
 

watched Rugby League last night and they said the Leeds tries would be on the follow up program on the red button - hurray - until them time came - no red button on VM :(

Re: sky sports red button
 

Are you sure they said on the red button , as rugby league usually show extras after on Sky Sports Extra online and that's only available to Sky customers I think.

Re: sky sports red button
 

no they definitely said press your red button now.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Cricket on Sky Sports 4 on the red button now.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes west indies v pakistan, west indies well on top in a slow scoring game,should bearing disasters win this one in Guyana.

Red Button coming in very handy for the cricket.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Indeed they did.

First time i wanted that dam red button to work and was let down royally:mad:

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

At the moment it's a partial service. It'll be a few months until it is complete.

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

The features you mention (camera angles and stump-cam?) are not available on Sky as far as I know, I have not seen it anyway. They canned the camera angle and player cam stuff years ago for football.

Red Button on any sport is now just used for extra content with the odd stat and highlight threw in.

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

Yes l am looking forward to the full service when that launches.:D:D
