Unable to get the footy on SS Red button
Dunce time again board members
I have Sky sports on my VM package, and Wednesday night there were some Chamionship games available on the Red button, one I wanted to watch.
So I switched to one of the channels showing EFL and then pressed my Red button on both my remotes at different times but all that happened was a partial Red screen showed up temporarily, but without showing any games available.

I'm sure that I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what.

I am not sure why I have 2 remotes, the main one operates the VM box etc and I suppose the second one is for my LG smart TV.

Any tips welcome.

Red button issues with Sky Sports on VM are long standing

Re: Unable to get the footy on SS Red button
No issues on Wednesday evening for me. After pressing red button did you not get a prompt at the bottom of your screen?

If you have V6 or TiVo, you then need to press the 'Info' button to make the menu pop up.

If it's a TV360, press the "3 dots" [...] button instead

Re: Unable to get the footy on SS Red button
spiderplant Many Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow.

1701 I got a message which said something about go back to menu, so I pressed the back arrow on my LG remote and the Guide button on my other remote without success.

I am sure I can now suss it out after the help from BM's.

Re: Unable to get the footy on SS Red button
Yes it's a rubbish prompt. Spiderplant has explained it very well.
The sky coverage is not great.... no replays and scant commentary

Re: Unable to get the footy on SS Red button
Just a quick update, I put on a SS red button channel tonight, pressed the red button on my LG remote and the window with 4 options to watch came up straight away.

So as Gavin D said, Wednesday night was a Sky Sports/VM red button glitch.
Thanks for the input Guys.

Closing this as it appears resolved.
