I don't think we can Buzzman, apart from seeing if RB is mentioned in the Sky listings and then tuneing in to see if it appears on VM.

The only other place you can look is here.

It gives some infor as o what RB we will see on VM but it's not comprehensive by any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks Mobes, that is the kind of answer I was after. A bit surprised though, as for it to be of use to me I need to know at least an hour before the event if I need to go to the pub to watch or not. As it is right now I can't see myself hanging about to see if a game will be shown or not. I'm also surprised that others are not finding this inconvenient.

Why do you assume if someone says someone is moaning, it must be you.

Mind you, I suppose if the cap fits......:D

Match choice will probably start in time for the new football season starting.

Cant see a rush for it to be ready as season is now over, will probably launch in August at the start of the new football season.

So have we got it or not?? :)
I take it we have Half a red button, just like we have half a Sky Sports HD. Funny, (fudging hilarious really) but i dont seem to be paying Half of a Sky Sports subscription.

Muppetman, could you confirm the super xv rugby is indeed available on sky at the moment.

The Bulls v Cheifs match is indeed available on Red Button thru the Sky platform, you can toggle between that match and Leinster v Toulouse which is also on the main HD1 channel.

Why not now though if the red button is 'active'?

What red button service is available now on VM with SSP 2? (Chelsea v Tottenham)

There is no fanzone available on Sky's red button through their own platform today, just highlights, stats and match facts.

Maybe fanzone is only available on Super Sunday, I dont really know.

There is no doubt then at the moment we have a very watered down version which is better then nothing but lets hope by August that this improves significantly.
