About three weeks ago DF said Red Button will be coming soon to Virginmedia and I have seen posts saying it will be here before April, we shall see.

They better launch it in April when the cost for tv and net will go up(Coincidence?)
I wont hold my breath on the Red button appearing anytime soon.
Will it launch begin,middle or end of April or is this another smokescreen to stop customers defecting to Sky?

Seriously? You can't wait a month? Most of us have been waiting for years for Sky Sports Red Button and all ITV 2, 3 & 4 (and 1 if I'm honest) produce is dross and archive programming not recorded in HD. Your missing out on the odd Europa League game in HD, why give up the best UK broadband for that.

But surely Ken1234 is entitled to his say, red button could be a big thing for him , I know it is for me and many others. We also have to consider will it be the full red button like Sky users currently receive.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Sky have already said the red button won't be exactly the on VM as it is on Sky.

I have a nasty feeling for all footie fans that the extended Premiership highlights won't be on VM's version of the Red Button.

I have NO proof of this BTW, just someting in my waters :p

Yes. The links to VM website saying so are all over this forum.

I do understand those that want the extended premiership highlights though which MAY not be available however any Red Button at all is welcombe.:)
