Re: sky sports red button
 

i upgraded to a tivo box in my bedroom i wish i had not now, its rubbish from virgin media, tivo is ment to be the best thing, i dont think it is, im not going to say what i think it is...
how can they put it on the old boxes but not the tivo...

Re: sky sports red button
 

be honest.. its trash.. needs throwing in the bin..

Re: sky sports red button
 

it is, this is a major and they dont put the amencorner or holes 14,15 or the featured groups on the red button if you have a tivo box, i think its pathetic, its the worst thing i did was get one in my bedroom.. should of stuck with my normal VHD box...

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well its not even on the VHD box now.:confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Definitely was 10 minutes ago Den. It did look good, take it that it's gone. What's going on!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Perhaps SP can explain this as well.

Re: sky sports red button
 

On HD box now Den but not TiVo :(

Re: sky sports red button
 

maybe sky with holding it as it not on list for red button events on tivo and we know we dont get everything on red button from sky

Re: sky sports red button
 

See previous post Dave. Red button is on HD box for the masters but not for the much heralded more expensive TiVo. Although if you want to record hundreds of hours of TV rather than enjoy the best coverage TiVo is the answer;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

yes i seen that but Den said it gone from there now too so could be sky with holding

Re: sky sports red button
 

Dave why do you never apportion any of the blame to VM surely it can't always be Sky , then again I guess it's easier to blame them.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Its not on my VHD box Henke.:confused:

Re: sky sports red button
 

not saying sky are to blame for everything as there not but sky have full control of what red button content go to VM it just strange it was on other boxes before now it gone when the masters has started not that im in into golf watching the darts

Re: sky sports red button
 

Red button coverage is on HD box Dave, but as I mentioned not on TiVo. Have no idea why it disappeared on Denphone's box, I've never seen it he's never invited me round.:(

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well you are all cordially invited for a midnight feast and the booze up that follows it.:D:drunk::drunk:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Red button has now disappeared from my VHD box.

Edit It has now returned ?? how strange.

Re: sky sports red button
 

wonder why it not on tivo too could been a vm fault

Re: sky sports red button
 

so does tivo not have red button for sky sports?? thought it did

Re: sky sports red button
 

It has the red button for some sports but not for others currently.

Re: sky sports red button
 

VM appear to be acknowledging a fault - ref 1955082 on VM help and support http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...n/td-p/1131325

Re: sky sports red button
 

Good spot mate.

Re: sky sports red button
 

lets hope its sorted for tomorrow... or later tonight!!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is not a fault. It was not scheduled to be available on TiVo, The ticket is now closed.

Re: sky sports red button
 

is that sky stopping it on tivo or vm

Re: sky sports red button
 

I am doing my hardest for my wife to get Tivo, as l hear it is better than the Sky boxes ie Sky + and HD conent etc.

BUT is there really problems with Tivo,, On Sky there is never a problem with the Red Button, why is there a problem with Tivo on the Red Button

Re: sky sports red button
 

It's a joint decision. There is an agreed schedule of which events will have a red button. Neither company would want to launch something that wasn't ready.

Re: sky sports red button
 

A total absurdity.:td::(

Re: sky sports red button
 

So if the schedule is agreed are you saying they agreed to allow red button masters coverage on HD box but not on TiVo :confused: If that's the case it's mental:td:

Re: sky sports red button
 

i want my old vhd box back....

---------- Post added at 08:10 ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 ----------

and what i dont get, why did they give us masters on the range...

Re: sky sports red button
 

It's not at all 'mental'. The Liberate applications that run on the V-HD box were completed last year, but the TiVo versions are still in development. It would be 'mental' to prevent Liberate users from using the red button just because it isn't yet available on TiVo.

Re: sky sports red button
 

That's not what you said in your original post Spiderplant. You stated that it had been decided what events would and wouldn't be covered by red button, not that it was a technical issue. So it appears that TiVo is not capable of supporting this function that the old box can, progress? Aye very good:td:

Re: sky sports red button
 

I didn't say how the decision was made, though I did give a big clue with "Neither company would want to launch something that wasn't ready".

Re: sky sports red button
 

So when will it be ready great man.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

It'll be ready when it is ready.

You youngsters, always in such a rush :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well great man you have just given your age away but l am willing to learn from someone with such great wisdom.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

No rush but TiVo has been with us some time and i would like to see the red button apps finished before its time for my zimmer frame.:D:D;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well Richard perhaps a few of these:walk::walk: and a few of these:beer::beer::beer: might come in handy while you are waiting.:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks den good idea mate.:D:D:D:tu::LOL:

Re: sky sports red button
 

monte-carlo tennis says red button, but not working at the moment?? is this everyones tivo box?

Re: sky sports red button
 

just tried mine not working here either

Re: sky sports red button
 

ok thanks, this is what bugs me about tivo box..

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l have just tried mine and there is nothing on the red button and yet it is advertised.:(

Re: sky sports red button
 

Patience Den,it's coming...:zzz::zzz::zzz::D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Apparently from sources who have just contacted me the Tennis is coming later in the summer and it should not say that in the upcoming events.

Re: sky sports red button
 

it will not take some tennis on the tivo boxs but it working on my v+ boxs virgin working on this

Re: sky sports red button
 

Typical Virgin's ad hoc planning again.:(:td:

Re: sky sports red button
 

it was same with the masters golf aswell was on v+ but not tivo

---------- Post added at 12:29 ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 ----------

they now been taken off whats comming up on the red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

phone the tivo team and there put you right and give you more info this is what i was told today

Re: sky sports red button
 

The tennis is now on the Sky Sports red button on TiVo as it was meant to come later in the summer but it has come eariler then expected.

Re: sky sports red button
 

At risk of opening a can of worms, hope reminder comes early too.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes l suspect there are a few who seem to think we don't need reminders but alas they are in a small minority as the vast majority of people want them and the sooner they arrive the better.:)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Just to remind those who have TiVo boxes that there is enhanced interactive coverage of the cricket now.

Re: sky sports red button
 

About time.

Re: sky sports red button
 

finally wonder if they let us have the red button on football for fanzone ect now

Re: sky sports red button
 

:D Excellent, good shout Den, sadly still at work but will check out later. Match seems a bit pedestrian so far though?

Re: sky sports red button
 

it got red button listed for todays football from 4 looks like we may have fanzone ect

Re: sky sports red button
 

Been a long wait but good news if true

Re: sky sports red button
 

it is giving choice of the 2 live games that's all no fanzone ect :(

Re: sky sports red button
 

can't believe we pay more for Sky Sports then Sky customers do yet we don't get the full red button fuction yet..

Re: sky sports red button
 

The Red Button apps on Virgin are developed by Sky and show what they want them to, so

http://www.skysports.com/contactus

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sky would reply telling the customer to report the issue to their provider which of course is VM , after all Skys customer is VM rather than the direct individual as Sky holds know customer data on the individual and takes no direct subscription money from them so the method you describe would be a complete waste of time.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Ok, then www.virginmedia.com/contact ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Did VM ever get the red button service?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes, just after you left ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Really! Is it any good? The Sky Red button was a bit of a disappointment to me.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I would assume it's the same service

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well there may be something wrong with it. I wanted to see the Spurs game recently, it was on the Red button, but it wasn't on VM

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sky don't make all Red Button events to VM. If you press the red button when no event is broadcasting, it'll show the you upcoming ones (though Sky are still prone to change the schedule at short notice)
