Sky Sports red button
 

Why cant virgin get 5 sky hd boxes all on red button watching diffrent games.

Hook them up to the head end and broadcast them on channel 450 451 452 453 454 455.

Am I missing something?

Maybe because it would be rather illegal and of poor quality.https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/12/10.gif

Plus you would need an extra box as you have listed 6 channels.

Plus also VIRGIN have not got access to SKY red button in any way shape or form at the moment so that is why they are unable to broadcast it:D:D:D:D

I thaught it was decided virgin was allowed red button but it was a software issue, this way there is no software!

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

I am only joking as I do not think that they will pay for 5 boxes and the subs to broadcast them:D:D:D

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

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.

No software but still illegal.

They'd be using a DOMESTIC sub for commercial purposes.

Now they could have gone to sky and gone "give us the raw feeds and we'll just bodge together a solution to getting match choice out there" but it's a pretty poor and messy job just for a couple of hours a week of football, and ignores all of the other red button content.

Better to wait and do something properly rather than bodging it together in the shortest time possible.

I hope it is here in April as we have waited long enough for it now.

Not possible, VM would be sued by BSkyB.

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

Info from my insider over the weekend is now saying that Virgin Media will launch the Sky Red Button in April.

Thanks MB.

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

I just saw an rumour: DS Forums poster ''Technix'' says that the Sky Red Button IS ''currently in testing. They've added 14 video streams just to facilitate Sky Sports' red button service.''

(See post TWO) http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1442717

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

That is encouraging if true.

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

There is no sign of 14 new streams testing.

In fact there dosen't appear to be any new tests broadcasting at all.

Re: Sky Sports red button
 

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?
