I never understand why people get in a rant here

1. I have only ever had helpful service from VM customer services within the limitations they are given

2. there are many helpful members here who do their best to keep us imformed about developments - sometimes they may not get it quite right - but we are often dealing with a developing situation

3. a major software-new-write is bound to have teething problems - they will get it right soon & in time for the cricket on 28th hopefully

Hmm the ciricket on the 28th is on sky sports 2 so which cricket on the 28th april will it be ready for then.?

As for teething problems that i agree can happen but why cannot we be told the truth.!

When sky sports Red Button failed to launch yesterday vm employees came on here stating it had launched only my call to customer services today revealed the truth why not be upfront.:confused:

The staff member involved should have checked his/her facts before posting simple, as I said earlier he/she set themselves up for the comments on this thread.

I agree but why say it had launched in the first place the first person i spoke to on customer service today agreed it had not launched as was claimed.

How hard can it be to check facts particularly if you work for said comapny.:confused:

Virgins communication needs to be much better because if they communicated better people would at least know something.

It's easy, but clearly she hadn't. There's been an article on the Intranet called "Sky Sports Interactive Available on Virgin Media" since yesterday morning.

Whether it's launched or not is moot, as there won't be any content published until next Thursday.

Really which content is that then? if its the cricket west indies v pakistan sky sports are advertising it as being on sky sports2 ie not on Red Button.

And as Muppetman11 has already confirmed golf is available today via Red Button on sky sports.:confused::confused:

Didn't the staff member say it had launched but first content will appear next Thursday? So how do you know it is wrong until you check next Thursday if it is working or not?

Why are you having trouble understanding that the red button is not only for live sports? They could simply be supplementing the live match with extra stats, angles, highlights etc via the red button.

You seem to be like a broken record constantly going on and on that you have managed to find the listed match on SS2. So what? Go phone Sky and ask someone in their CS if the red button is for additional live content only. They can confirm that their red button service offers services other than live sports.

Thats not nice saying i sound like a broken record it thats what you think i am glad to be leaving vm,a mate of mine takes sky sports and yes the Red Button covers lots of functions.

I have found the match that vm company employees on here claim that is the first to be shown on Red Button either is lies or is not.:(

Lots of content on sky sports has been available online since vm have claimed have launched red button.
