Red Button for TiVo had been confirmed - not until late 2011 early 2012!!

Thats disappointing to say the least as we were told that it was coming in July/ August time.

Thats ok mate none taken.:)

I guess i do feel a bit animated by the Red Button function after waiting for it to arrive on vm for so long.:)

Interestingly when i spoke to customer service the nice lady told me they had no idea when the launch would happen,my only problem has been that vm have not been very upfront but there you go.:(

Yes l totally agree with you as Virgins communication is very poor on this matter.

Re: sky sports red button

Detect some doubt in Denphone's posts re Virgin's ability to produce

Re: sky sports red button

l have doubt in some of Virgin vague press releases about the red but.ton as we still don,t know when we are going to get it and in what form

Re: sky sports red button

I have been told that Sky Sports Red Button will launch on Tivo Sometime in July.

Thanks media boy for your iinformation, one thing l will never do is to blame you or other helpful forum members for the information that sometimes never materialise or gets delayed.

I agree denphone most forum members on here are helpful and do their best.

Its VM i am more critical of though as a company for its very poor communication with us their customers.:(

Re: sky sports red button

Don't think people get angry at people who post. Think they're angry at virgin. My recollection is one of vague promises from CS then months of nothing. Think that's what causes the anger. Gradually virgin customers are getting sick of it and moving to Sky, who despite their flaws, DELIVER!

Re: sky sports red button

What irritates me most iabout Virgins is they say a date but then it never arrives.

Yes i know what you mean,but i would not mind things not turning up so much if virgin put out a statement letting customers know the reasons for any dealy,as it is they usually say nothing which obviously winds customers up the wrong way.

Re: sky sports red button

Some kind of date as you say would be helpful.

Re: sky sports red button

Yep, it appears that you will have to wait a whole 2 days yet. Seriously man, I don't even think VM gave a date did they?
