Very true. You have always been polite and I've never found you to be rude.

For people fearing they will miss out on some matches due to the red button can subscribe to sky sports on sky for the duration of the World Cup. It's no big deal, all you need is a sky dish and box and they will switch it on. If you have no card they will send you one for free.

Sky cannot offer me a service so i will watch on one of their highlight shows on sky sports on vm.

Which is why Red Button on VM will be so useful.

I for one would like to thank digital fantastic and other vm staffers for trying to keep us informed

obviously the red button issue is a very important one which is why people are getting a bit over-reactive

whilst I would like it now so I can red button the Cricket World Cup I can wait til April - always hoping for earlier news

I can't tell you how much I missed the Sky Sports red button service in the 10 weeks I had VMtv.

Not that many games left and they seem to be more spread out now. I'm sure they'll just be on the regular channels although perhaps not in HD if you sub to it.

yeah there's only four games a week at most so 2 on tuesday and 2 on wednesday. And one of them is on itv

I find this worrying

http://www.sky.com/shop/sports/home/...y-virginmedia/

On VM it says SOME INTERACTIVE Sky Sports coverage available from 2011

I know this comparison has been on here however the wording seems to suggest it won't be a full interactive service.

:D:D That link has done more rounds then Tiger Woods!;)

I suspect the Red Button will give VM viewers access to live video streams for the cricket,champions league,tennis,golf ect ect but may not give vm viewers access to match choice and or other interactive content however we shall only know once it arrives for sure.:)
