True, I didn't think of that. Do the menu highlights match up on your Sky box or is it like in my pics?

Ours is working now on our V+ Box but does seem a bit buggy. When we press the red button and the message box saying "Please wait" appears it does seem to freeze more often than not resulting in us having to reboot the box.

It would appear that Virgin have secured a watered down version of the red button service. Think true to form Virgin haven't publicised the launch of the red button or what services they have secured.

Football First/ Match choice is surly the most important aspect of Skys red button functionality and we got that in full... as far as i know there is NO match choice on a Sunday, yes?

Yes, i appreciate that Richard. As another example, Sky have hailed that they will get getting the HD versions of the UKTV channels. We all knew about that yet had to ask Neil Berkott himself to find out VM customers will ALSO be getting theses channels.

Love VM, hate VM's communication!

Fair enough SP. I do wonder though how it is that being at that point part owner of UKTV and ALSO/THEREFORE in negotioations with Scripps that SKY (nothing to do with either UKTV or sales negotiations) are able to 1) get a deal first 2) therefore able to announce the deal first.

Quite bizarre! Anyhow, makes no odds now I guess...

Don't you think that's its possible VM have made the HD versions of the UKTV channels a must have as part of the sale to Scripps?

I'm very happy for all you Premier League footy watchers with Match Choice etc.

The key thing is going to be when I have seen say cricket over runs and go onto the red button. Or in the case of the cricket World Cup there are games happening at the same time and to access the other games it was the red button.

Still looks to me like we don't have the full proper red button service and just what Virgin are wanting to give us :(

Cricket is my sport as well and i am concerned we may get very little via the red button as has been the case all summer, with a couple of matches that were live on sky red button,not being availabale to vms sky sports subs(both west indies matches).

As you say i wonder what the deal will be when it comes to cricket world cups with matches happening all the time?

As it stands and i was told this, vm only get what sky want to give them,and none of us customers knows exactly what the deal is as vm have not told us.But seeing as the red button has only happened twice for cricket all summer, we can assume i think its a wattered down version as far as the cricket is concerned at least.:(

It is just a time where you have grown up and got what you wanted or you had to take what you were given?

The fact is that if we pay the same as Sky subscribers for Sky Sports then we should recieve the same functionality as them because we are paying enough in our bills

Den,

I have had Sky for years now and as I recall there was no red button service at launch but when it did arrive there was no added cost to my subscription,therefore,to say you pay enough for the channels may be true but I dont think it say's that a red button service is part of that cost to view these channels.

Has not your Sky sports subs risen year by year relentlessly since it first started so l suspect you are paying for it as part of your Skys Sports subscription.
