Its good as a fill in , but it is no replacement for a live full game. I tend to switch to it during the add breaks to catch up on scores.

I wonder why I couldn't get it back after going back to the normal service?

What is worse is they moved the Eagles game to Prime Time so I can't watch it now live lol. (I'm not staying up - I have to get up at 6 for work)

Re: sky sports red button

Only on match choice is it, does it work on champions league. Does it work with other sports on the red like speedway, cricket etc

Obviously not sounding bias but the Tivo is light years ahead of Virgin's other set top boxes but like all new technologies it has one or two bugs and glitches which l would expect to be ironed out in the next update.

Re: sky sports red button

I am still having to reboot my Samsung V+ box 9 times out of 10 to get the red button to work, prior to rebooting it just hangs on the Just a Moment stage and the remote becomes unresponsive! Anyone else still affected by this? It works 100% after the reboot it is just becoming annoying having to reboot the box to get this function.

Andrew, I just posted on the official VM forum and apparently I have a signal issue with my V+ box which apparently is why I'm having to reboot. Maybe worth you finding my post and stating your affected too. I'm Adamipswich on there.
