Re: sky sports red button
 

Good question.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Match Choice is on at 1015 tonight

Re: sky sports red button
 

Another good question would be is it active on sky all the time for programs or is it just a place holder for there txt service when NOT being used for extra programing ?

Re: sky sports red button
 

It is always on however mostly just text services.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Then i cannot see VM having it run all the time as they don't have a txt service, It makes sense for it to be active when its active on Sky for real content not just txt. In fact i don't see how VM can be any different in programing to Sky if the content is from sky

This is not aimed at you Muppetman11

At the end of the day some have already found something new to moan about , what next i wonder phone calls to retentions demanding a cut in there payments. :rolleyes:

Re: sky sports red button
 

is that on virgin as well.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Ah sorry I assumed it would be the same as Sky.

I can't see why not, VM have 14 streams for SSP Red Button so they appear to have the capacity.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Is there anywhere at present where we can check whether Sky red button content will be available to VM subscribers? I was able to access the cricket on Thursday and would love to watch the 2 rugby matches at 4&6pm today on SS1 red button as advertised here: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12946,00.html
How do I know if they will be available to me? Obviously I know I will be relegated to the bedroom and the V+ for this.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Does it say in the EPG?

On Sky's EPG for SSP It says from 4pm red button is available for the Bulls v the Chiefs.

I assume it will be the same on cable?

Re: sky sports red button
 

VM EPG only shows the Heineken Cup rugby. No mention of red button content. Was the same for the cricket on Thursday. I don't know if VM customers are getting all content hence the question of whether there is a VM source as to red button content. At the moment it seems the only way to check is to wait for the start and try to tune in.

Re: sky sports red button
 

l am sure some kind person will compile a list and post it on this forum soon.

Re: sky sports red button
 

As far as I recall Digital Fanatic (staff) did say Red Button is launching in 3 stages.

First it will be a sort of 'soft launch' with not all content available, then Tivo and then a full service from the start of the next football season.

Maybe VM have a webpage detailing the scheduled red button events?, just a thought and might be worth a look.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I'm sure it said super rugby was available on VM that's what that game Mersey is stating is I think.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I don't much follow RU so cannot say I even recognise those teams I mentioned.

Re: sky sports red button
 

The Rugby Red Button evcent VM mention is Super League in May.

There is a schedule of events coming up including Masters Tennis and the Rugby Super League in May. (Events are subject to change without notice).

But they do say "including" so who knows....
