Re: sky sports red button
 

What will the full launch include?

Re: sky sports red button
 

One would hope it includes everything like football first and champions league football and other major sports.

Re: sky sports red button
 

bad show, very bad show vm

Re: sky sports red button
 

On Sky Rangers are creaming Kilmarnock in HD on Sky Sports 4HD and red button is working for Celtic game , golf choice is on Sky Sports 2 HD red button.

Re: sky sports red button
 

We have not got that yet.

Re: sky sports red button
 

The red button is working on the golf on ss2 but not sky sports hd2

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes you are right about SS2 and the golf.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I have had the same thing happen when we first got SSRB on Tennis . I pressed Red the STB froz and the just a moment box stayed in the bottom left of the screen . A reboot of the box sorted it out.

Re: sky sports red button
 

So far l have not had to do a reboot for the red button.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Good weekend on Sky Sports HD this weekend SS1 HD Chelsea v Newcastle , SS2 HD Live European Tour golf with red button , SS3 HD MK Dons v Peterborough , SS4 Kilmarnock v Rangers with red button game , spoilt for choice.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Even got cricket, my first red button experience:) very stretched 4:3 picture though from the West Indies:erm:

now got 'Just a moment' AND the West Indies v Pakistan Test match

Re: sky sports red button - something series has happened
 

Try a reboot it worked for me on the golf earlier.

Re: sky sports red button
 

thanks

a reboot does the trick !

seems to be working fine now - just hope we get all the cricket extras on the test matches & ODIs coming up

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l hope that too.:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Your welcome.
I agree all the extras on test matches & ODI's would be good if available.:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Hmmm i suspect all the extras will only appear once we have the red button in full ie july/august,but until then i am enjoying the west indies/pakistan test match which previously we would have been denied on red button,i am well pleased.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l am pleased that we have at least got some of the red button.:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

:D Yes the rest is "coming soon":LOL:

Re: sky sports red button
 

True:D But at least we have a time scale on when it should all be coming?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Lets hope the timescale is correct but you never know with Virgin.:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes lets hope it arrives as per the time scale.

But to be honest i only sub to sky sports for the cricket,football i watch occasionally,diito golf ect ect.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes I for one hope that the timescale is correct (well not really, As I have a TiVo and they are saying early 2012) For the V+ I hope so:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l have a tivo and V plus in the same room so heres hoping.:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Do you have two TVs in that room as well?

Re: sky sports red button
 

He lives in a bedsit ( so one in the front room and one in the bedroom ) Only joking Den:D:D:D:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes because l am a sports fanatic and they always seems to be on different channels.:D

---------- Post added at 17:41 ---------- Previous post was at 17:40 ----------

Thats quite alright.:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

used mine for 1st time today and it just froze the box up,had to do a hard reboot

Re: sky sports red button
 

What is availble this week via red button?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Me too! I pressed the Red Button earlier to watch Barca playing on SKY Sports 3. The game came on but I couldn't return to normal viewing. That's twice I've tried the Red Button facility and twice my box has become stuck. I think it had a please wait box on the bottom left hand side of the screen on both occasions, that wouldn't go away regardless of what buttons I bashed. 2 times I've had to reboot. Not happy as on both occasions I was recording something at the time, which ruined my recording.

Before I submit feedback to Virgin, does anyone know if this is a common problem? Is it something that Virgin are aware of?

You wait all this time for the Red Button facility and it doesn't even work properly. I pay a lot of money to Virgin each month and expect stable viewing and recording facilities.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I always get the Just a moment thing stuck on screen but it does go away eventually. I don't see why it should be so slow when even the BBC red button facility isn't that slow. Admittedly though, that has been a bit buggy on the V+ while Radio 1's Big Weekend has been on.

Re: sky sports red button
 

There is no list available at the moment to tell us.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sky Sports 1 and 2 will be showing a PL fixture this Sunday at 4pm with one game on the red button on Sky Sports 1 , not sure if its on VM.

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

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well you should be able to guess what games they will be showing. With the bottom of the table been still up in the air:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

I do not expect it to be on Virgin.:(

Re: sky sports red button
 

Just said on Sky sports news that on Sunday there will be a way to watch all three matches at once on Sky.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Was same for yesterday as well, but virgin wont get it

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes it' called 3 TV's and 3 boxes in the same room:D But on a more serious note it would be very confusing to watch all 3 matches at once would you not get confused:confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Extremely :D

Re: sky sports red button
 

You can watch the 3 games using 1 box and red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

Only if you believe in better :D

Re: sky sports red button
 

I do that is why I'am with VM:p::D:D:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

I said better not lesser :D Only kidding :D

Re: sky sports red button
 

I know we cant watch the 3 at 1 on vm but you can on sky

Re: sky sports red button
 

We are only pulling each others leg , VM provide a good TV offering , they both offer different things :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

You probably will have to wait for the 2nd phase of the red button for more football,i believe next season will see the full launch of red button on vm.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes we are only messing about:D

---------- Post added at 20:37 ---------- Previous post was at 20:36 ----------

Yes this is what I believe as well, It would be nice for them to test before this:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes i agree but i suppose sky have an agreement with vm which means most testing will go on in the background and not "live", i see looking at the football fixtures sky have a fair bit of football in june,not sure if any is on the red button but if it is they may test that would be nice.

Whichever way come next season vm should have the full red button for football as well. Including hopefully on TiVo.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

There was football on red button at the weekend. It definitely works. :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

If you meanthe celtic game that was only availble to sky customers

Re: sky sports red button
 

Hello to all I am contemplating changing to VM Tv from Sky and i wondered if someone could tell me if I would be able to record any game from the Football First interactive system on VM like you can on Sky? Thanks

Re: sky sports red button
 

We do not know that at the moment. Will be good if you are able to One of the staff maybe able to tell us, Although they may not be able to tell us:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

not at the moment but we should have full access to red button for next season welcome to forum and good user name ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks for your replies you two and I will ask the staff and will hopefully be able to tell you and Dave42 thanks, nice pic also I just want this season to end :( but hopefully I can watch football first on VM next season instead of deliberately not recording it on sky due to results :(

Re: sky sports red button
 

It was Spanish.

Re: sky sports red button
 

From what has been said it should all be up and running in time for next season. I know what you mean about the season to end I'am a Barnsley FC fan:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

It wasnt availble on vm

Re: sky sports red button
 

Spiderplant is a VM staff member so may be partial to a bit more info :confused:

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

I tho it was meant to be on ss4

Re: sky sports red button
 

Let the countdown begin Richard.:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Please get back to the dicussion.

Thread tidied up.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I would say almost certainly not. Hopefully by the start of next seasons football we will have the `full red button` features. I`l also be interested to know whether we will be able to record red button events. Can we record BBC red button events? Never tried myself so I don`t know.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sun 22 Manchester United v Blackpool (4.00pm) SS1

Sun 22 Tottenham Hotspur v Birmingham City (4.00pm) SS2

Sun 22 Stoke v Wigan (on red button) SS1

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

Re: sky sports red button
 

But only on Sky.:erm::erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sunday would b the perfect day to test the red button out for the footie

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes we know I just posted so that people knew?

---------- Post added at 20:20 ---------- Previous post was at 20:20 ----------

Yes it would be:D:D Lets hope that they are listening:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

What have they got to test, it would work exactly the same as the Tennis app?

Re: sky sports red button
 

l doubt it.:(

Re: sky sports red button
 

If it works the same then it shouldnt take so long

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes we know Stoke v Wigan , what people don't know is if VM will have it.

Re: sky sports red button
 

My answer to that is l do not think they will have it.

Re: sky sports red button
 

From what i have been reading muppetman11, i think it very unlikely that any barclays premier league matches will be on red button on VM before the start of the new season in august,although i remain to be surprised.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

it would be a huge surprise Richard.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I have had it confirmed to me as well ( But I really need to stop listening to the voices:erm: )

Re: sky sports red button
 

Can you tell me who told you Devilincarnate.

Re: sky sports red button
 

confirmed NOT on vm on sunday from VM twitter team

@virginmedia will the game on sky sports red button be on sunday

@Safc42 I'm afraid not. That feature isn't quite ready yet but we expect it to be all guns blazing by the start of next season. MK

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thats what l thought would be the case with the red button not fully functional until August.

Re: sky sports red button
 

yes i thought it be the case too least we know it be ok for next season which is good

Re: sky sports red button
 

Roll on next season.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes, can't wait to have the full RB experience... oh wait... as a tennis fan I already do :) :p

Re: sky sports red button
 

Hope Virgin do get it for the football/cricket it's the dog's

Re: sky sports red button
 

l would hope so.:erm::erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Roll on august

Re: sky sports red button
 

Several games of cricket have already been on the Red Button west indies/pakistan series so i guess for the cricket,tennis its already arrived not sure about golf or other sport though.

The football will be fully fuctional from the start of the season in august hopefully.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

There has been golf

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks thought there might have been but could not be 100% sure.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Mine still doesn't work - posted on Support forum 12/05 - No response. Indian Call Centre have advised me twice (we don't have the red button) during a call with them on the missing content.....

V+HD Box - I know I can't be the only one who is suffering a complete meltdown of their box everytime they press the red button to watch whatever sport is available at that time.

No issues with any other aspect of Red Button

Re: sky sports red button
 

To be honest the only issue i really have with VM is their communication with customers,the red button has been launched contrarary to the indian call centres advice to you, although no red button has launched yet on the newer TiVo box,but on your V+HD box cricket,tennis and golf have all been on red button on sky sports, the football is due in august have you spoken to an english call centre yet ?, they are generally much better then the indian ones as you need to report it as a fault.

Have you tried re-booting your box as this sometimes works Red Button did freeze once on mine i re-booted and all was fine.
