Yes, but similarly my VM subs have risen and I dont have the sports channels with VM so I just put the rises down to good old inflation etc etc.

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

There's an issue in my area too BUT I have been told on good authority (I'm not saying who) that red button for the tennis wasn't scheduled to be on VM today but don't know why....

Odd....

Re: sky sports red button
 

Looks like I've been proved wrong and we have not got the full service - glad I didn't hand over any of my hard-earned to Sky!

The gripe I have is that I like my darts and one of the big tournaments in the autumn shares the Friday night with four other live events (or at least, it has the last two or three years). And guess which one was pushed behind the red button - got it in one. That is why I will not pay Sky any of my money unless they give us the full service - why should I pay them when I cannot receive the material I'm paying for?

It may be that the reason that we have not got full functionality is that Virgin are still sorting out teething troubles. For that reason, I will keep an open mind and will keep on looking back here. I'll also keep my cash in my pocket UFN...

Re: sky sports red button
 

Some very kind people I know are looking into why no Red Button for Tennis Masters last night (even though it was on the Sky platform). If I'm allowed to say why when I find out I shall let you all know...

Re: sky sports red button
 

Mobes it has happened to me with the cricket as well two matches involving the west indies were on sky sports red button on sky a couple of months or so ago ,but were not available to vms sky sports subscribers,after emailing the ceos office i recieved a phone call the nub of which was "its up to sky what they supply to vm via the red button".

From that point on i knew we were not going to get the "full" red button service on sky sports,good luck though mate.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

It's worrying, Richard. What i would point out though (but please correct me if I'm wrong) is that certain sports (was cricket one of them?), such as tennis, were specifically mentioned in the press release as having the red button functionality. If that's not the case and Sky can give it and take it away at a whim then something needs to be done/said about it!!!

Re: sky sports red button
 

I've tweeted them this morning about the tennis... nothing back yet...

Re: sky sports red button
 

I guess Mobes sky held all the cards when it came to negotiations over the red buton,and i am guessing what happened was they said we will give you all the football ie match choice and champions league,and a selection of other sports but it will be up to us which on a take it or leave it basis.

Tennis was definately mentioned in the press release,and cricket was the first sport on red button a west indies pakistan match as far back as last april,then no more cricket on red button until the highlights of the third test match last saturday ie august!.

One thing vm could and should do in my view would be to publish a proper red button list,but when i spoke to the lady from the ceos office she did not seem to know what would be on and when.! so perhaps it is as random as that football apart.

Virgin needed to be stronger and demanded more.
