Re: sky sports red button
 

Welcome to the world of Sky Sports Red Button ;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

I had that for a fair bit, then it changed to a bar saying "press back to exit", and then disappeared. Give it a bit longer.

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes indeed it is.:D
Its time to say well done to VM for getting Sky Sports Red Button working first time out.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Glad it's all up and running for you.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Indeed

Re: sky sports red button
 

Even as a Sky TV customer I will say well done to VM the red button will be a welcome addition for many VM subscribers.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Will be great for when the new NFL season starts, I will be able to watch Red Zone during the add breaks.:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well it ain't working down here in Brizzle. Just says 'Just a moment' on both boxes. Even after reboot.

Re: sky sports red button

Re: sky sports red button
 

You should be watching the red button:D:D:D:D:D:D So SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH

Re: sky sports red button
 

watching the darts here

Re: sky sports red button
 

It seems to be. Oh well, it's nice to see it on the screen at last, even if it doesn't work.

I wonder how I can take it off the screen so it doesn't keep catching my eye. So I suppose my question there is: how do I get rid of this red button on the sports channels?

;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Which stb have you got?

Re: sky sports red button
 

It's a Samsung V+ and a rather sorry old looking Explorer 4000DVB.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I did not know that Anne Robinson played darts:D:D:D:D:D

Re: sky sports red button

---------- Post added at 20:13 ---------- Previous post was at 20:12 ----------

hope fanzone will work on rest of footy games for rest of season

Re: sky sports red button
 

Did you reboot both of them?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yep. Still no joy though!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Hmmm. Anyone else in the Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Staverton, Gloucester and surrounding areas having the same issue?

Does BBCi work ok on BBC1?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Press blue

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes not working here in Bristol...just locks the box up.
Samsung v+

Re: sky sports red button
 

iPlayer is ok though. Just the Sky Sports red button doesn't work.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Damn, I'm not in work so can't flag this. Sounds like a possible Aztec RHE issue.

If any of you can post on the VM Community Forum, then they can flag the issue to Outage Surveillance.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks!

Re: sky sports red button
 

ok, so certainly sounds like a possible local issue.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It is always good for a laugh from the bits I have seen.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yeah that is good , if there's a season LOL :D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yep well done Virgin

Re: sky sports red button
 

Good to see that you are all now using the Red Button, I wondered what your reaction would be as we have been aware of the launch for a few weeks but unable to say a word about it.

Enjoy!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Why have VM not made any formal announcement?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Red button not working in Luton

Re: sky sports red button
 

I always waiting until Virgin announced new arrivals via a press release however even that isn't reliable anymore!:erm:

Well done to Virgin for delivering SKY Arts 1 HD, SKY Arts 2HD and the Red Button facility. All we need now is SKY on demand / catch up content to be made available and Virgin will have finally delivered on all of their promises made post sale of VMTV to SKY. Better late than never!

It's exciting times to be a Virgin TV customer.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Do you mean now, or at 7:30? It won't work now because the event has finished.

Bristol should be fixed for future events, by the way.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Sorry come to the wrong conclusion by reading these posts, not 7:30 but now. Silly question but how does the red button work on SKY sports? Does it only appear on certain live broadcasts or football first? Does it work on the two HD channels?

Re: sky sports red button
 

What I got was a little red button icon at the bottom right of the screen with the word cricket next to it. It was available on both SKY Sports 2 and SKY Sports 2 HD. For me the red button facility took ages to work.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well done Virgin for finally delivering the red button buts lets see what it does in the next football season when we want to watch the premiership and champions league.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Think match choice for champions league is the one most people would want.

Re: sky sports red button
 

There are not many times i get gobsmacked but yesterday was one of those when i saw the Red Button on sky sports,and for me at least when i pressed it to continue watching the cricket it worked pretty quickly,and i was able to watch what i consider in the past all virgin media customers should have had after shelling out massive amounts for sky sports every month.:):):):):beer::beer::beer:

Re: sky sports red button
 

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and I just wanted to ask if the Sky Sports Red Button will work for the Spanish football tommorow? the games that start early are normally on the Red Button

Anyone in the know can confirm or deny if Virgin Media customers will be able to watch it on the Red Button tommorow?

Take care.

Re: sky sports red button
 

No idea but we have known for a while when it would be starting and expected an announcement to be made before it went live.

Re: sky sports red button
 

That's a good point. What is next on the red button? Anybody know? Is there a list?

I am sure Virgin have sent me all the information I need, I am just not at home to check at the moment!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Red button is on Sat 30 th Western Force v Crusaders

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12946,00.html

Madrid Masters on 2nd May

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12948,00.html

These are on the Sky sports red button through Sky not sure on VM

Re: sky sports red button
 

People seem to think the Red button is active on all programs but its not.

You need to look at the link above and select the programe type then the LIVE ON SKY tab. Then look for any programe with a * next to it for info as to the red button usage.

Re: sky sports red button
 

There's post-match coverage for Castleford Tigers v Leeds Rhinos on SS1 today.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Excellent

Re: sky sports red button
 

have we got the red button?

Re: sky sports red button
 

yes we have started 7:30 last night

Re: sky sports red button
 

cool. Does the red button stay on all the time?
Or on certin stuff?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Please read the previous posts - they tell you all this (last couple of pages)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Yes that would be nice.

Re: sky sports red button
 

and match choice on football first most want that

Re: sky sports red button
 

do sky still do player cam and the other match cams they have on a live game?
if they do will we get that?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Dare I ask...

Did it work probably and was it almost identical to the Sky version?

Re: sky sports red button
 

If your asking about rugby league one then no it did not, However if your asking about the one for the cricket last night then yes it did.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Was there red button coverage on rugby league as the Sky epg didn't list it , however I was out and didn't catch the game.

Re: sky sports red button
 

According to spiderplant yes, However i think he got mixed up :)

Re: sky sports red button
 

The red button has highlights available on sky sports 3 and HD3 of Euro Tour golf , is it on VM.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It sure ... ain't!

Re: sky sports red button
 

That's right - shoot the messenger!

Re: sky sports red button
 

:LOL:

Re: sky sports red button
 

does anyone know when next vm red button event is on - is it one of cricket matches?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Why is it not active all the time like bbc red button?

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.
