Match choice is going to be part of the service AFAIK, not sure about "record" though?

Soon it will be even easier to catch your team on telly, thanks to the Sky Sports red button.

If they’re not showing on the main channel, all you need to do is press the red button on your remote control, and Bob’s your uncle, you can scroll through all the games and select your side. It’ll work for all 2011-2012 Barclays Premier League matches, plus any UEFA Champions League match, ATP tennis, US Open, Heineken Cup and more. Plus, your clever red button unlocks loads of news and stats, too. And an extra bonus, from late spring you can use it to track down smaller sports events, games or highlights, too. Just keep an eye out for the red button appearing on your Sky Sports premium channels. Nice one

It will be a great deal for VM if they get the record feature as well , as being able to tape your team every week is a nice feature.

Not to be a moaning mini but Sky are going to keep something back which I guess is fair enough. I presumed it would be match choice but as that looks to be coming maybe its te record function they will hold back...

Only problem with current match choice on Sky is when you pick your game to record it can only be recorded in SD , Mersey70 says there looking to change that from next season.

Yet more BS from VM... They mentioned in recent email communications to customers (when mentioning the price rises and telling us how great the service is and what we get for our money) red button would be ready by Mid-March with full functionality in April and add-ons by start of 2011-12 football season in August. End of March nothing and no communication at all via another email/vm website/press release to tell customers as to why... then some people and VM staff wonder why people are so disillusioned with them :(

Funny that because i have never seen Mid March given in any briefing or mail shot ???

Would like to see the evidence myself just to back up the claim

Must admit I've not seen mid March for the red button however you cant blame people for being sceptical.

On an email that was sent by Virgin with a link to microsite full of VM Marketing spiel about what customers get with VM and the future. Specific section on Sky Sports Red Button launch and lists some of the stuff I mentioned in my post including mention of some of the content. One of things that stood out was no mention of Spanish Football (i mention this on prior post I made on the subject) in that. I know Sly have been trialing Spanish games to their customers only live via their website so would be annoyed if this wasnt on the red button feature.

Cant find the email aa 40k + in my inbox and I either deleted or its archieved but when I do Ill click on the link and post it to prove my point.

No mention of Mid-March as far as I can see?

I've already given clues to the launch earlier in the thread ;)

To be fair though VM stated Sky Arts HD was arriving in the coming months some 9 months ago so you can't blame people being sceptical , I personally think it will arrive.
