Re: sky sports red button
 

Does anyone have any proof that they can post which shows, 100% that the red button will be launching tonight? I'm still very dubious seeing that it's now 12:30pm and Virgin haven't made any kind of press release regarding it's launch. Is the launch of the red button tonight still purely based on rumor and speculation?

Says next month for non TiVo users and late 2011 early 2012 for Tivo users.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Your guess is as good as mine. Nearly ALL the dates that have been given on here are by people who DO NOT work for VM and have been speculating about the date nothing more.

On the help site:

Sky Sports Red Button

Re: sky sports red button
 

At last :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

If it works, I'll be glad that VM messed up my TIVO install and I'll be able to use the Red Button for a little while

Re: sky sports red button
 

Brilliant!!! Thanks for that Ben.

I usually wait until Virgin make an official press release before I beleive anything. I'm surprised they aren't shouting about this. This is a big deal to many sports fans.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Why has VM been so quiet about this. You would think they would be screaming about this all over the place. But instead it has been dragged out of them.:rolleyes:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Because it's not really fair on the TiVo users to 'scream' about it as they won't be able to get it yet

Re: sky sports red button
 

See post 343 from a vm employee.

Or maybe they don't want to affect TIVO sales when customers find out how fundamentally flawed the TIVO is at current with its lack of Sky sports red button , BBC interactive and no PPV sport function.

Re: sky sports red button
 

That's a very good point.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Not that I'm being a misery guts as this doesn't affect me, but nothing on that statement about football... or match choice.... both of which i would imagine would be happening on Saturday...

Re: sky sports red button
 

If you have been offered an additional free V+ it is actually not too much of a problem. It will be a problem signing up new customers (if they don't also get that offer) but then that hopefully gives them some impetus to sort this out sooner rather than later.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Agreed but you shouldn't have to do that , on a STB lightyears ahead ;)
