Re: sky sports red button
 

l am afraid the foreign call centres are utterly useless as far as l am concerned and you need to speak to a british call centre worker as they understand things a lot more.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I suggest you post again on the support forum.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It's unfortunate that VM decide to employ people for whom English may not be their first language to discuss technical problems with their V service. It's absolutly not their fault, of course, it's VM's.

I would have great difficulty explaining tht my red button doesn't work in Spanish, or French or Urdu so why should VM expect it the other way around. Ludicrous!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l agree with you on that Mobes.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes, It's great that we have the Reb Button but I'm sure it's infuriating when it doesn't work and then you add to that the difficulty in explaining just what's wrong with it. I'm not suprised there is anger, though I hope there is never any rudness.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l will state my opinion but l will never insult or be rude or use a swear word.

Re: sky sports red button
 

can we get the 3 screens showing all 3 games on the red button this sunday too ?

Re: sky sports red button
 

The answer to that is no.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Will the Torquay United game tonight in the football league 2 play off's be avaiable for VM subscribers on the red button?

Re: sky sports red button
 

The answer to that is no.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks i had a feeling it wouldn't be on, roll on August.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes roll on August.

Re: sky sports red button
 

West indies v pakistan day 1 just gone on sky sports 4 red button,not available to VM sky sports subscribers though by the look of it as no red button has appeared.:(

Just wish we had an authoritative list as to what we should be expecting.

Re: sky sports red button
 

No l have not seen the red button come up either.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Very frustrating cricket was shown on sky sports red button last test match west indies v pakistan really annoying just not knowing quite what we can expect.:mad:

Re: sky sports red button
 

It could still come on yet, someone at HQ might have forgot to press the button :D

Re: sky sports red button
 

They are probably having a cup of tea and a fag.:D:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

::LOL:: Yes you could well be right "coming soon" do not forget to press the button.:erm:

Just spoken to "thinking of leaving us option" not that i was,! just trying to get hold of a uk call centre apparently they told me the cricket is supposed to be on red button today but there is a fault they are investigating.

So fingers crossed.;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

I think there will be some angry football fans on Sunday, if you can't get the red button on VM.

Sky (as usual) will show the last games of the season on the red button.

Re: sky sports red button
 

No premier league on sky sports red buton until august arthur in phase 2 of the red button roll out.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Go to a pub that shows a lot of sports E.G Walkabout (other pubs are out there) and they should have all the matches showing?

Re: sky sports red button
 

We will not get it for Sunday.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Denphone I guarantee you we will have this match on Sunday and I will come on here on Sunday at 4pm to take the abuse if it isn't. It has been confirmed to me and will defo be on 100%

Re: sky sports red button
 

We wont get red buttton for footie till august

Re: sky sports red button
 

it been confirmed on twitter red button match NOT on vm on sunday quoted myself so 97reijam01 can see it confirmed by VM twitter team red button not on VM on sunday

Re: sky sports red button
 

As I have said. I can 100% confirm it will be on! I have spoken to someone higher at virgin media

Re: sky sports red button
 

Seeing as the red button was not working yesterday for the cricket according to VM they wre investigating a problem with it you seem ultra confident despite what the twitter team say.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I was told on Tuesday that the service would not be avaliable as sky had not provided details for it. Then on thursday I recieved the magic email that siad that sky had given Virgin the pdate and it would be avaliable on sunday

Re: sky sports red button
 

The red button was on Sky last night for the European golf.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well only time and sunday will tell i guess if vm actually manage to get it working.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yep mate I will be the first on here to take the abuse if it dosen't ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

We've already had football on red button last weekend. The full football multiscreen application won't be ready until August, but individual games can be shown now.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Is red button actually working or not at the moment as i was told it was not available on the cricket yesterday on sky sports 4 due to technical difficulties.:confused::confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l am sure its working but to what point is anybody,s guess.:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes denphone thats about the bottom line mate.!

Although i do understand with anything new teething difficulties are to be expected.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I didnt get red button on footie last night so I am confident we won't get it tomorrow

Re: sky sports red button
 

No chance of it tomorrow.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Denphone see when It work tomorrow I will be expecting an apology

Re: sky sports red button
 

If it works tomorrow for the football l will give you a unreserved apology.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Den be like me I never apologise as that proves that you are wrong:erm: Whoops Sorry:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

I'm willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong. Samuel Goldwyn.;):D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Is that him from the film company:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Why would vm say we wont get it if people are saying we will?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes thats the one.:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well myself i have my doubts i think probably the twitter team posting was probably right,if its on tomorrow on Red Button i will be amazed,sky are not a benevolent charity and if it has been stated no premiership football until august that seems to ring true with me.

Re: sky sports red button
 

And l agree with you totally.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks denphone.:)

---------- Post added at 21:54 ---------- Previous post was at 21:29 ----------

I wonder why the twitter team were not-re briefed? as the situation changed,not saying you are wrong it just seems strange it changed so quickly.

As i have said even yesterdays cricket which went on the red button on sky sports which was previously available last time on VM but this time it was not so at the moment sky sports red button via VM seems very hit and miss.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I like you am a customer and really don't WANa watch the game on the red button but I just want to see the progress of the red button develop

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thats fair enough i think all of us that take sky sports via VM would agree with that as its expensive at £22.50 a month without being denied access to content.

Re: sky sports red button
 

ye mate I am 100% confident and I will be as disapointed as you;'s of it dosen't work tomorrow

Re: sky sports red button
 

I dont think we'll get it tomorrow

Re: sky sports red button
 

I have subscribed to the sports on and off for years and l always thought that l am paying all this so l should get access to the red button because we are paying exactly the same as you would if we were on Sky,s platform, its as simple as that.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I think there will be some angry VM sub at 4-00 today, As l cannot see the red button being on.

Its the biggest day of the premier league for years, and you will only see one game on VM, on Sky, all the uimportant games will be on the button.

Re: sky sports red button
 

At least we can look forward to the full launch in August.

Re: sky sports red button
 

2 games on as spurs v birmingham on ss2 as well as man utd v blackpool on ss1 only missing red button game stoke v wigan

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

The match choice button is already showing in the bottom right hand corner on Sky.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Looks like it's the rugby behind the red button and not the football sorry guys :/

Re: sky sports red button
 

I told you it wouldn't be on.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Lets wait 10 minutes yet.

Re: sky sports red button
 

10 Mins to go and we are already giving up hope. As I have just checked the V+ and there is not red button showing yet. The Rugby is on SS2?

Re: sky sports red button
 

If you want your box to freeze PRESS RED NOW!! Bunch of amateurs

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

I meant when I checked the box, I should have made myself more clear:(

Add your own.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I did not expect it but I for one will not have a go at the forum members that said that it will be here. All I have to say that the 2 forum members that did say that it will be here, You have the balls and also the tenacity to stay one here after it has all gone PETE TONG.

Thanks for sticking your neck out and you are only able to go on the info that you are given.

Re: sky sports red button
 

roll on next season when we will have red button :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l am looking forward to full red button functionality next season.

Re: sky sports red button
 

How old is your box?Because mine hasn't stuck on the red button for at least the last 4 years..;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

I believe DF when he says will get the full red button but I think he needs to convince the VM Forum Team Members, another quote from them.

"We do not have the rights from sky for the red button on all programmes."

No mention of at the moment or will be getting them.
:confused:

red button
 

Well there was no red button option for yesterdays premier league survival games `eh. Much as I expected though. What was on the red button on sky sports 2 was rugby. As it was the first time I`d seen the sky red button I pressed it to see it in action. Two problems occured, 1 I couldn`t get back to the main sports 2 channel (I ended up re-setting the box) and 2 the red button and `rugby sevens `stayed on the screen the whole time I watched the footy,which was very annoying. Anyone else had the 1st problem and is the red button(dot) supposed to stay on the screen all the time?

Re: red button
 

You can usually remove the red button prompt by pressing the blue button.

Re: red button
 

Yesterday's was the first time the Sky Red Button service crashed my box "Just a moment" for 5 minutes, then had to force a reset, which took another 3 or 4 minutes to complete. Seeing as how the service was nothing more than changing from one video channel to another, with maybe a line of digital text saying "Please press BACK to exit", this really shouldn't be happening, when more complicated interactive services have been on the platform for many years.
