4th quarter of the year sorry.ie before the end of december.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I agree with DF's comments yesterday. I think Ofcom said Sky has to offer the Sky Sports 1 and 2 Premium HD on fair and equitable terms or something like that, so if Sky make it per household for their customers, I would expect that ultimately that would also happen on VM. Even if VM had to complain to Ofcom, which I think they did on the HD price per box...

Dunno about Sky Movies HD though. As that isn't a Must Offer set of channels.

Noticed that I get Sky 1 HD on the two boxes despite only paying one £7 premium, just not Sky Sports.

Oh I see.The C&W/NTL/VM motto 'coming soon' still applies..;)

So is there any chance of someone somewhere giving us an itinerary as to when ALL the red button functions WILL arrive on VM...

I know it's a very minor part of the DTV experience BUT us longer standing cable TV customers have been waiting a very,very long time.I think we can be excused for being some what impatient.;)

Re: sky sports red button
 

Nice to know even the moderators are asking about the Sky red button as it has been such a long wait and as l have stated before as a Virgin subscriber to Sky,s premium channels l believe the customer as he pays the same price as Sky,s customers is entitled to have the same functionality.:D;):D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Actually Denphone sky sports is not the same price as sky charge £20.50 for the channels, and on virgin media we pay £22.50 so it is actually more expensive to have sky sports with vm.!

Re: sky sports red button
 

Thanks for telling me that and that makes it even more right for us to have it.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Why should vm customers pay more, should it not b other way round

Re: sky sports red button
 

Can you really see Sky charging their customers more :D

I agree with you that VM should get Sky Sports at the rate Sky charges it's own customers though.

Who knows in a month or so when OFCOM rules it may come down in price.

Re: sky sports red button
 

l would not hold my breath.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I personally think VM and BT should have pushed OFCOM more for access to all channels and interactive features and pricing to match Sky's own rather than cheaper access to SS 1 and SS 2, I pay £20.50 to Sky and I don't consider that bad value for 5 sports HD channels and red button services however I understand why customers of other platforms feel shortchanged.

Re: sky sports red button
 

OH come on please:D:D:D:D:D

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well with Sky,s track record of withholding content and functionality you can never be sure of anything and Sky will continously drag things out.

Re: sky sports red button
 

If and when News Corp take over Sky, their anti-competitive practices will get even tougher. Just have to hope OFCOM still have some teeth before their inevitable cuts.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Lets hope so but the governing party has already shown that it is pro- murdoch in its dealings.

Re: sky sports red button
 

I think unfortunately its when more than if.
