You are right.

I think Lew meant the general red button functionality (BBC bridge as it was then, Wimbledon interactive) that was added with the CR3 software all those moons ago...

Whenever I try to access the red button on Sky Sports it just sits on the "Just a moment" window. I've waited quite a long time but eventually have to hit the reset button.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Yes it is nice to have match choice at last but what a shame a selected match cannot be recorded or rewound etc..
Or can this be done if so, our V+ box is not doing this.

It's all well and good claiming that it's Sky's doing, but is the V+ software even capable of recording red button streams? I know that technically they're no different from a normal channel but unless there's code to actually record them then there's not a lot that can be done, really.

Its not that hard to record the games through the night which would work just as good unless your intent on watching a game between 11pm and 4am.

Happened to me last night with Football match choice, needed the dreaded reboot as well:(

Don't use the red button on SKY Sports much, but until last night had no problems:confused:

Yes l have been lucky so far in that my V HD box has never had to reboot once using the red button.

Mine has needed a reboot nearly every time aswell, sometimes hitting the blue button whilst it is stuck on "just a moment" gets me back to tv but mostly it needs a reboot. It generally works on the second go but i've also had it get stuck on match choice just backing out of a selected game to the menu.

A shame as it has stopped me from using it now unless i'm desperate to watch it.
