I don't know who said what anymore. I take most things on here with a pinch of salt, although in all fairness I do find out tonnes on this forum; whereas Virgin don't tell me very much at all.

It would be cool to have.

I agree it will be a nice addition. Sorry, you just bore the brunt of my frustration thats all, people moaning like buggery that it hasn't turned up yet.

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.

I agree that VM never communicate well which is why I initially began using this forum. I guess just about everything they seem to be adding now is Sky so they don't want to shout too much about it.

Funnily enough, when I called to cancel my tv the lady said red button would launch before 28 (which is the date I asked for cancellation). But she also said Ofcom were in the process of getting Sky Atlantic for VM so I didn't believe her on anything!

l suspect she does not know what she is talking about, l do not think we will get Sky Atlantic for at least 9 months l suspect.

I think the problem is the LACK of any information coming out of VM on this.

So all vm can offer its customer base at present is no information.

Its just sales/retention talk. I know of people as far back as last August last year that were told the red button works on SS on VM before signing up only to find it didn't work once they had their installation.
