I can confirm that 14 new encrypted streams have been added and are no doubt interactive feeds related to Sky Sports Red Button.

They are flagged as SptsETV 1 - 14

Nothing else had been added as far as I can see.

Thanks for info.

Is the wait nearly over for new channels the number of services has jumped from 342 upto 356 on my v+ box, So is a launch soon on the cards. Only time will tell

It seems strange as my V+ is now saying total services of 373 and I am sure that it was saying 357 before?

Your area is an old Telewest one and it was saying 359 last night on my box (Ex-Telewest).

Cheers!

The good news is as VM have added 14 streams then that (to me at least) would suggest customers can expect a pretty comprehensive if not full Red Button service when it fully launches.

It will only be a watered down version.

Told not to expect CL Games next season

Part of me can understand this. Investment in their product ought to count for something I guess.

I wonder if the VM team realised what we would/wouldn't get when they signed the deal.

What I also believe is that the full RB experience will come in time....just like Sky Atlantic et al....

The website says UEFA Champions League will have red button coverage, it dosen't say what it will include but it's only a general insight of what to expect.

Click 'exciting developments' and then 'there's more to come', it's on the right hand side of the page about red button.

I couldn't provide a direct link.

It is a pay channel.

It does count for something, Â£30 worth of something they get from me every month.

Withholding features of a channel on a rival platform when customers of that platform are paying the same for it is inexcusable.

Sky sports should get it's return from investment on subs to Sky sports, not on forcing people to take it on Sky over VM.
