Re: sky sports red button

Damn, I'm not in work so can't flag this. Sounds like a possible Aztec RHE issue.

If any of you can post on the VM Community Forum, then they can flag the issue to Outage Surveillance.

Re: sky sports red button

Good to see that you are all now using the Red Button, I wondered what your reaction would be as we have been aware of the launch for a few weeks but unable to say a word about it.

Enjoy!

Why have VM not made any formal announcement?

I always waiting until Virgin announced new arrivals via a press release however even that isn't reliable anymore!

Well done to Virgin for delivering SKY Arts 1 HD, SKY Arts 2HD and the Red Button facility. All we need now is SKY on demand / catch up content to be made available and Virgin will have finally delivered on all of their promises made post sale of VMTV to SKY. Better late than never!

It's exciting times to be a Virgin TV customer.
