Yes you are right the big grubby world of money in which everybody needs its but the minority of people have more of it then the majority.

What's happened to the red button service on Sky Sports 1 for Cable?, I want to watch the Cricket with WI vs. IND as well, the service was available only a fortnight ago!

I wish the Sky Sports "Active" red button service was available for the Cricket on Virgin Media. (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKpQ9jhIQss)

Goodness knows mate the nearest i have come to finding out is by emailing neil berkett and if you read one of my earlier psotings on this thread i was called up and given some explanation see post 1424 page 95.All in all though its a very poor state of affairs a bit like Kevin pietersens recent batting performances..:(

It looks like the HD charge per box is defo being removed on Sky in September not sure how this affects VM charge.

I've seen many other posts stating the same and a Sky worker who claims the same.

Re: sky sports red button
 

If Sky do drop this charge then Virgin will have to follow such very quickly in my mind.

Re: sky sports red button
 

$ky might continue to insist vm customers are charged it to cover extra carriage costs.

Re: sky sports red button
 

It will be interesting to see what happens , Sky are changing some of their packages about in September and a Sky employee says the max rise anyone will see is £1.00 with some seeing a reduction and some froze , I'll believe that when I see it LOL.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Virgin have no say alone in whether they drop the charge or not, it's set by a commercial agreement with Sky

Re: sky sports red button
 

And that is not going to be revealed but Virgin have to remain competive at the end of the day.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well indeed, but if Virgin say to Sky 'we want to drop the £7 per box to remain competative' and Sky say 'no we wan't the revenue' not much they can do

Re: sky sports red button
 

But then thats anti-competitive in my mind.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Exactly this is always a problem when your just selling another companies channels.

Re: sky sports red button
 

Is there any red button stuff this weekend?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Is there anything on red button this week?

Re: sky sports red button
 

Well if Virgin had a lists of events that are on the red button that would be a help but remember we are still in phase 1 of the red button.
