I wont hold my breath on the Red button appearing anytime soon.
Will it launch begin,middle or end of April or is this another smokescreen to stop customers defecting to Sky?
As other people on the forum has stated on this forum in different threads it will launch about easter time?

No Digital Fanatic whom i do trust has said Red Button will launch very soon,vm have produced a mailing telling people to look out for the service on sky sports so i would think it will be launching around april for sure.

Re: Sky Sports red button
Are Red Button matches and Match Choice broadcast in HD? Plus I'm guessing this will be done VoD style so we won't be able to record the games like on Sky. Whatever the case, 45 minutes of SD is better than 5 minutes on MOTD.

Seriously? You can't wait a month? Most of us have been waiting for years for Sky Sports Red Button and all ITV 2, 3 & 4 (and 1 if I'm honest) produce is dross and archive programming not recorded in HD. Your missing out on the odd Europa League game in HD, why give up the best UK broadband for that.

In my case its not the waiting that annoys me but for the last 3-4 years all you got from the Customer Service dept. was " The red button service is comming very soon",I for one will believe it when it happens (if it does!!)

But surely Ken1234 is entitled to his say, red button could be a big thing for him , I know it is for me and many others. We also have to consider will it be the full red button like Sky users currently receive.
