Me too! I pressed the Red Button earlier to watch Barca playing on SKY Sports 3. The game came on but I couldn't return to normal viewing. That's twice I've tried the Red Button facility and twice my box has become stuck. I think it had a please wait box on the bottom left hand side of the screen on both occasions, that wouldn't go away regardless of what buttons I bashed. 2 times I've had to reboot. Not happy as on both occasions I was recording something at the time, which ruined my recording.

Before I submit feedback to Virgin, does anyone know if this is a common problem? Is it something that Virgin are aware of?

You wait all this time for the Red Button facility and it doesn't even work properly. I pay a lot of money to Virgin each month and expect stable viewing and recording facilities.

I always get the Just a moment thing stuck on screen but it does go away eventually. I don't see why it should be so slow when even the BBC red button facility isn't that slow. Admittedly though, that has been a bit buggy on the V+ while Radio 1's Big Weekend has been on.

Yes it' called 3 TV's and 3 boxes in the same room:D But on a more serious note it would be very confusing to watch all 3 matches at once would you not get confused:confused:
