Re: sky sports red button
Does anyone have any proof that they can post which shows, 100% that the red button will be launching tonight? I'm still very dubious seeing that it's now 12:30pm and Virgin haven't made any kind of press release regarding it's launch. Is the launch of the red button tonight still purely based on rumor and speculation?

Your guess is as good as mine. Nearly ALL the dates that have been given on here are by people who DO NOT work for VM and have been speculating about the date nothing more.

I usually wait until Virgin make an official press release before I beleive anything. I'm surprised they aren't shouting about this. This is a big deal to many sports fans.

Because it's not really fair on the TiVo users to 'scream' about it as they won't be able to get it yet

Or maybe they don't want to affect TIVO sales when customers find out how fundamentally flawed the TIVO is at current with its lack of Sky sports red button , BBC interactive and no PPV sport function.

If you have been offered an additional free V+ it is actually not too much of a problem. It will be a problem signing up new customers (if they don't also get that offer) but then that hopefully gives them some impetus to sort this out sooner rather than later.
