Hello,

I think this is the right area for this query, I was wondering if any could tell if VM can handle HD from Sky and if the red button features are compatiable. Because I've seen the differences between pressing the red button on Sky, Freeview & VM but could VM carry the interactive features from Sky Sports? The V+ broadcasts BBC HD but can i assume it could handle Sky broadcasts?

And if not why? Are the technologies used by both companies that different? I don't really want this to descend into a VM vs. Sky thread or who's at fault for not allowing Sky basics or any their red button features on VM, I'm simply curious to know if in theory VM could handle what Sky can offer!
