Yes thanks i had noticed things had moved on!
I also have seen an advert which states vm will not have an interactive service for sky sports until 2011 on the sky website,they are hardly going to use an advert to gain advantage over vm are they ie interactivity, and then start supplying as extra feeds to vm that which they are saying the advantage is! now are they?
.
The real reason Red Button is being made available is 1) the ofcom deal. and 2) the selling of vms channels to sky which also has a cluase i believe about vm getting access to sky sports interactive not out of the goodness of skys heart.

I don't agree that it is essential to have Red button services to enjoy Sky Sports. Aside from Football First and early matches in the Champions League, the services on it are at best a distraction and hardly essential.

Whilst in essence i agree with some parts of your post to start watching my local county cricket team Essex on sky sports earlier in the season and then have it switch after 90 mins play to Red Button was a bit of a p-sser,it meant i could not watch my teams match and yet i thought i was paying to watch them.
With Football which is what most people watch at least sky show all i think of the englsh team matches on sky sports channels in the champions league only the foreign matches tend to be on interactive.
But overall i do see your point.
