Re: sky sports red button
 

That's an excellent red button by the looks of it. Comes on within seconds. No waiting around/blinking screen/crashing.

Funny how it took so long though.

Re: sky sports red button
 

worked perfectly in London, all SKy Sports channels including HD

Re: sky sports red button
 

Brilliant but because l am staying with family in Gosport l cannot teleport myself home to find out.:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Red button here in Ipswich, works brilliantly. Tells you what's coming up! TiVo is perfect now! OD in HD and red button! :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

At last we have got it, still waiting for Sky Sports 3, 4, News and F1 HD!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well you might have to wait a little while yet Alan.

Re: sky sports red button
 

sky wont let VM have them as you well know so no point keep going on about it

Re: sky sports red button
 

They can still keep Sky 3D (where they show football and other sports in 3D)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Woohoo, its finally here on my Tivo as well. Works perfect, no waiting for ages it just comes up. Nothing on there yet but it does say whats coming soon on it. Get in my friends.

Re: sky sports red button
 

first thing to use it is the rugby tomorrow SSHD1 tomorrow night so we can all try it then cant wait to use it on football first and hope we get fanzone ect on the live games this weekend

Re: sky sports red button
 

Time will tell :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

At last, this is good news! Decent week with the HD Movies OD arriving too then.

Re: sky sports red button
 

:D:D:D A nice surprise when you get home den,have a good time mate.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I have two TiVOS.. So AWESOME!!

Re: sky sports red button
 

This is great news!!!! Have we any idea as to when BBC multi stream (i.e Wimbledon) function will be coming? I presume not to long now is Sky's red button is now here.
I'll be upgrading to TIVO very soon I hope!!!!!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Over on the Community Forum it's been said that the BBC stuff will be added over the next month - so anytime up to the beginning of April

As soon as there is a confirmed date then I'm sure there will be a post

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks Ben... your a superstar for info as always :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Not working for me, just getting an error screen. Also, now when I'm watching Sky Sports, the mini guide hangs and it won't respond to any of the button presses for about 15 seconds.

Re: sky sports red button
 

give TiVo a reboot and see if that fixes it.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I am having the same issue, getting error code V301 saying app currently unavailable.

then it hang on the channel for about 15-20 before any kinda action, also i have no apps showing too.

Re: sky sports red button
 

mine is working at mo and had no issues on all the times ive pressed red on SS1HD

Re: sky sports red button
 

Looks like a known issue: ExTelewest looking at those regions ;)

http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...s/td-p/1070177

Re: sky sports red button
 

Ah, I see. Thanks for posting that :)

Yes, I am ex-Telewest. I thought the system had been merged by now but I guess not.

Re: sky sports red button
 

We always get left behind the queue :D:D:D:D Or do they just think that we are slow:erm:

Re: sky sports red button
 

I have the red button here as well it loads so quickly I'm well impressed.

Once the BBC services launch TiVo will be complete for interactive services.

Should get a few more Tivos into homes people that were waiting for this to launch

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks Richard.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yeah, it's all from one super headend in Langley, but just like VOD has regional headends, then the platform has sub sections.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Spelling mistake there DF don't you mean boot:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

I'd never do that to a TiVo

http://highbridnation.com/wordpress/...tivo3dream.jpg

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yeah, gotta hand it to Virgin-just at the time people are beginning to get over their complaining about the price rises they go and resolve one of the major things stopping people upgrading to Tivo! Expect another good quarter for them.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Just one of the many things that are coming soon methinks.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Just looked at the up and coming red button shows and there is plenty of Super League. That's me happy

Re: sky sports red button
 

Hopefully a bit more to come den.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes of that l have no doubt.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

looking forward to using red button on football first and trying it on live games to see if we get fanzone ect

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l am as well when l return home.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

It was "merged" in 2010, but turns out that was not the case (6 years later!)

Re: sky sports red button
 

I posted on Coming Soon thread SKY Sports red button working in Swansea I sent Media Boy a PM about it as well

Re: sky sports red button

Excellent.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well, that's a big let-down. I've waited a long time for the Sky Sports red button on my TiVo only to find that it doesn't work. Got up early this morning to relive the pain of Chelsea's defeat on Football First Match Choice (I must be a masochist) only to find that whatever match I chose it always reverted back to Match 1. After a re-boot it's just the same. Anyone else experienced this? I'm in London and wonder if this is a regional fault.

Re: sky sports red button
 

l would suspect it was a regional fault but DF or Ben would know more.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Tried once more and found that the picture reverts back to match 1 after about five seconds whether an alternative match is selected or not - as if any self-respecting Chelsea fan wants to see Man City winning yet again.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Same here in Swansea back to the main match when trying to use the red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

Fine here in Fareham.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yep, same in Ipswich. It was working last night, on Sky Sports 2, but now it's on Sky Sports 1, I cannot select any match....

Kinda what I expected really....

Re: sky sports red button
 

Looks like it's a more general fault, then. Hope VM get it right before the start of the F1 season.

Re: sky sports red button
 

faulty here this morning too worked great last night wonder if it same with sky

Re: sky sports red button
 

Guys - can you describe what you mean by faulty?

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

Re: sky sports red button
 

when i tried this morning, it got as fasr as the match selection screen, but after a few seconds it bombed out back to Sky Sports 1 HD.

Re: sky sports red button
 

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

Re: sky sports red button
 

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

Re: sky sports red button
 

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.

Re: sky sports red button
 

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

Re: sky sports red button
 

Ok on both my Sky box's this morning (must admit I never checked last night though!)

Re: sky sports red button
 

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 ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

I went to load it up last night after Match of the day just to try it out and all I got was the screen which shows what's coming up on the red button the football first wasn't working.

Re: sky sports red button
 

to be honest..that red button on virgin media will never work on tivo..
if u want all that stuff--go to sky for that..
virgin media ts good for on demand programs,good for phone and for internet..
but for every day tv-its rubbish..

---------- Post added at 15:17 ---------- Previous post was at 15:16 ----------

grant u one thing.. espn channels are free if u got xxl package..
on sky u got to pay extra..

---------- Post added at 15:18 ---------- Previous post was at 15:17 ----------

on sky u got loads of good points.. but bad points to..
thats the same for virgin media to..

---------- Post added at 15:23 ---------- Previous post was at 15:18 ----------

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..

Re: sky sports red button
 

Please stop quoting yourself! :D

Watching spurs united game on sky sports 1 and no red button on SA v+ box or V HD box.

Re: sky sports red button
 

watching Sky Sports 1 HD and pressed red button and i have Football Match Choice and it works fine. Watching match number 2. You can get news, stats, tables etc from the menu as well. Its quite good

Re: sky sports red button
 

Will red button function work on F1 channel, notice Sky are advertising it?

Re: sky sports red button
 

I hope so, if we do get it when will it be available? Race day or before maybe?

---------- Post added at 09:40 ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 ----------

Just pressed red on Sky Sports 1 HD and it does show that red button can be pressed on Sky Sports F1 on 16th March at 1am for Australian Practice Round

Re: sky sports red button
 

l would hope so Henke.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Looks pretty good in the trailer they showed for it Den.

Re: sky sports red button
 

The Red button is now on Sky Sports F1 on TiVo in readiness for tomorrows F1 practice.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Great news :angel:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Just tried the red button on Sky Sports F1 and it works. Get quite abit on it as well. Official timings, on board camera and a menu with news drivers, teams etc

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes and l have to admit that it is very impressive on Sky race control and the options and coverage it gives to the viewer.:tu:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Indeed it is, just a shame that the keep going to Ads

Re: sky sports red button
 

l know but we just have to accept that is one of the things we have to contend with when we are watching commercial TV.

Re: sky sports red button
 

True, true

Re: sky sports red button
 

SS F1 red button for non TiVo boxes wont be available untill July

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tech/new...ive-delay.html

Re: sky sports red button
 

HMMMMMMMMMMMM Good way to get peeps to go to TiVo:erm: in the time it will to take to get the RB on Non TiVo boxes?

Re: sky sports red button
 

I can confirm Red button on Sky Sports F1 on Virgin is the same content as Sky

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes and l have to admit that the red button options on Sky Sports F1 are superb.:tu:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Indeed they are

Re: sky sports red button
 

Perhaps someone can answer this question and that is why is there Match Choice on SS4 on my VHD box and yet on my TiVo box the same channel does not have it.:confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Both games are on Sky Sports channels anyway so why do you need red button :confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Remember l have two TV's and two different boxes in my frontroom and was making a comment based on my observations.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

on are tivo boxes are we going to be able to watch amen corner and holes 15and 16 and featured groups or not, it doesnt say we are on our red button , but they been showing On the range which has been good...
so does anyone know if we are, i hope so.

Re: sky sports red button
 

From what l know we are not getting Sky red button content during the Masters.:td::(

Re: sky sports red button
 

i think thats wrong considering they gave us on the range at 2pm everyday this week!

Re: sky sports red button
 

l agree totally Simon.

Re: sky sports red button
 

You can watch live Amen Corner here;

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sky sports Red Button is looking good for the masters.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Strange that it is on my VHD box but not on the TiVo one.:confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

That is a strange one Den.:confused:
You may need to post on VM help and support.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Ditto. Looks like I've bolloxed up going to TIVO. I thought Sky red button worked on TIVO:( thankfully HD box upstairs. Poor again from virgin. So to get all services you need two types of box, very poor:(
