Lots of content on sky sports has been available online since vm have claimed have launched red button.
I apologise for causing offence.

You seem to be like a broken record constantly going on and on that you have managed to find the listed match on SS2. So what? Go phone Sky and ask someone in their CS if the red button is for additional live content only. They can confirm that their red button service offers services other than live sports.
That's a bit harsh , as a sports fan he's just trying to find more info re Sky red button

I thought you were going to Sky ? Was it for the red button

I can see where you are coming from Richard. I know how important the red button is to you for the cricket. I know that enhancements can get held up but VM really need to learn how to communicate these things better to customers and not give out timetables based on wishful thinking. I think you were told originally we would have the red button early in the new year.

It is about time Vm took on board comments made by customers about their poor communication, this has been a constant on these boards for as long as I can remember.

l totally agree with you about Virgins woeful communication and this is one of their biggest weaknesses at present, as l say they have improved in a lot of areas but this needs to be constantly ongoing for the future because you can bet your bottom dollar that Sky will not stand still and l cannot stick them because of a certain man called Rupert.

All I want VM to do is improve and it needs to listen to its customers , we are the ones that keep them in business. It is a real shame that the only way to a question answered about lots of different issues is to go to the CEO office, surely this is not the right way to do business.
Like you i am no fan of Murdoch, he has taken sport away from the average fan and made them pay through the nose.

Maybe I said what I wanted to say in the wrong way but I stick by my point that the red button launching is not dependent on the game actually being shown on SS2. I really don't see why anyone would keep on saying that again and again just to try and show that the staffers are wrong considering the game on SS2 itself could still use the red button.

As for me moving, I said if it was up to me then I wouldn't. For me personally, VM offer a superior product.

Sky sports red button is used on all Sky Sports channels , what Richard was trying to say was he'd checked the sky sports listing and couldn't see the use of red button.

My worries are when are we are going to get and in what form, my suspicion is that we will get a third division type version.

I guess i do feel a bit animated by the Red Button function after waiting for it to arrive on vm for so long.

Interestingly when i spoke to customer service the nice lady told me they had no idea when the launch would happen,my only problem has been that vm have not been very upfront but there you go.
