they haven't come to an agreement with Sky and Sky isn't willing to let them have it.... it's a USP I guess for Sky.

Re: Red Button on Sky Sports

Ofcom are in a consultation process which may result in Sky being forced to wholesale their Sports & Movie packages. I think this is the only way you will see Sky Interactive channels on VM.

VM can't even get the basic red button text service to work properly so what makes you think they will be able to launch a channel with an interactive red button

Ah, you see, you asked the wrong question. Asking if it would EVER appear on VM opened the door to them saying yes and never having to back it up! :)

Didn't NTL buy Premiership rights a few seasons ago and then have to hand them back because they couldn't afford them? There would be no money it for them.

Their in enough debt as it is. They don't want to start competing with Sky Sports yet.
