Sky Sports red button

Hi all

The Sky Sports red button did not work on channel 503 last night (13/12) on my TiVo but did on my V6; anyone know why?

cheers
John

Re: Sky Sports red button

You might have a signal fault. It would need a technician visit to fix

Possibly although everything else checks out & also why would it work on my V6 and not my TiVo?



VM Forum have got back to me and it was a known fault that has now been rectified

The Red Button streams are on their own frequency so you may not see other channels being affected. The V6 and TiVo have their own cables, so one can be faulty and not the other. Or the signal could be borderline and you just get away with it on the V6 but not the TiVo.

There was a fault on TNT red button on Wednesday, but not Sky.
