Cable Forum - sky sports red button

so lets get this right,the RB was launched on VM on the 28th April 2011 but we wont see it to next season as far as the football is concerned

:confused::confused:

At the moment it would be inaccurate to describe the red button as "launched", more like "being trialled" with a few random, alternative sports events being covered.
Other than the cricket on Thursday, has there been any other red button content available to VM customers? (I genuinely don't know the answer to this)

You see this is what is confusing.

I can 100% confirm VM have utilised 14 streams for SSP red button so it can't be down to capacity.

I think it's something else and I don't believe it's Sky's fault either, they have made it available.

I wouldn't put it like that.

But your full service ain't available is it?

For whatever reason.

Personally myself mersey70 i am increasingly thinking it may well not get a full launch until its ready to go on TiVo probably around the next EPL season,until then i think its more then likely random events that we will get wind of late on.

I think that too.

To me it wouldn't do to fully launch it on 12 year old Pace boxes before Tivo.

I doubt this shortcoming is down to Sky

What I meant about capacity is actually about the ability that they are able to show at the moment. Sorry for the confusion?

Why would they be as they have just got the service and trying the best for all the customers that they have.

I doubt its down to sky either.

It seems a very soft launch probably so it does not upset TiVo users,it did work very well though on my box for the cricket i prressed the button and bang the cricket was there i have a S/A v+.

I don't know this as fact mate, just saying it as I see it.

At the moment no one will know what is on or when, basically if you see a red button then it is on otherwise not.

Agreed, for me at least.

I think this is down to VM and it could be for any manner of reasons.

I doubt it's Ruperts fault this time. He has provided 15 HD channels AND red button in the last 12 months so the old chestnut of Sky witholding content is starting to wear a bit thin with me.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 20:36.
