There's only a few EPL rounds of matches left anyway this season.

It will be a shocker if Sky throw a few vital games behind the red button on the final day, which they have done before.

If they throw a vital game behind the red button then vm by law should make it work before end of season

But to be fair they did only state football from the start of next season didn't they ?

They never have before. Red Button has been around believe it or not since 1998.

VM are catching up in 2011!

Because they flogged their channels to Sky and pretty much gave up on content which in my opinion was wise and in return got the HD channels and red button.

NTL/VM don't exactly have a very good record in the content field when left to their own devices, that's best left to Sky in my opinion.

Virgin cannot compete with Sky in terms of content because Sky have very deep pockets and Virgin which replaced Ntl in name only is in debt because of cable being poorly run before they came along, cable is in much better shape now than it was before.
