There is always the possibility that SKY could make available the separate feeds for all the matches to Virgin who then allocate them to individual positions on the EPG until red button is available.

We shall see
Sky have absolutely no record in the past at of feeding red button matches to vms sky sports subscribers! via serparate feeds. Why would they start now.

Many is the time despite being a sky sports subscriber on vm, i have started watching a cricket match including one this season featuring my local team only to be told coverage will continue on our "interactive service " bl--dy marvellous i thought.

I cancelled sky sports immediately after this debacle only to re-subscribe with the promise of "red Button" interactive on the way.

I am not interested very much in the football so i pay £20 a month mainly for the cricket not to pay through the nose and have it denied to me,any more of that i will cancel for sure and stick to radio only coverage on radio five live for England Matches and local bbc stations who cover my county cricket team matches,and sky sports can do one.
