It does go to multi match selection but immediatley reverts to match 1.

You can get to the multiscreen then it boots you out of the application back to the channel.

Guys - can you describe what you mean by faulty?

Does the red button take you through to multi match selection?

On my TiVo the red button takes me through to the multi-choice screen with, I think, seven matches in mini-screens. I can navigate to the match of my choice but when selected I am taken back to the match that was showing when I changed to the channel full-screen (match one, I think). Alternately, if I do nothing the multi-choice screen reverts back to the main match full-screen after about five seconds of its own accord. Annoying.

Someone will have to either call VM Faults or post on the Community Forum to make VM aware, if they aren't already.

EDIT: HD BOY (Gerald) has reported it. http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...1/td-p/1074611

Thanks for all the info everyone who replied. This allowed us to discover a wider issue at hand with football 1st on TiVo. This will be rectified by the next outing. Also thanks for the welcome ;)

i am suprised sky dont have a mobile phone network..
i bet that be good..
i think o2 and vodaphone should get together like orange and tmobile have..
but o2 and vodaphone should do a much better job of it..
if sky did have a mobile company,they should use o2 and vodaphone networks together.. to be honest.. i have never like orange and tmobile since day one..
