Is it working the same as Sky's?

or did i misread your post and it's not working for Virgin customers?

I have it working after I rebooted my box as it crashed the first time I pressed red tonight.

We shall see, unfortunately until VM confirm what is going on, the only way we will know is when we try to watch football first on Saturday.

Is there any red button content now I can check if my red button is working and will work for Skysports?

thanks.

thanks.

Try at 5pm Sky Sports 4 (514) the tennis is on then. Even if it works there is no guarantee that it will work at the weekend

Thanks mate

I wish there was something to try now

Try the BBC radio channels. They use the same red button mechanism as Sky.

Found this on the VM help and support forums, TiVo subscribers look away now,

I just got off the phone to a really helpful Customer Relations team member Rebecca in Sheffield.

She has had it confirmed from her manager (Andy Hufton) that there will definitely be this red button function for the first game of the Premier League. Absolutely no doubt.

There is a chance that the service will be live earlier but I got the impression it may well be a test/beta.

Also Tivo access is still under development - which I would imagine means it will be a long time before Tivo boxes can use the red button.

If these functions do not work on the first day, I know there will be a lot of **bleep** off people. I guess the Advertising Standards Authority would be the first people to contact!

Only time will tell if this is correct or not.

Well we shall see at the weekend what it all entails.
