BBC Multiscreen has never been able to display the full six miini screens, 2 of them have always been 'static' if that makes sense.
It wouldn't be a major problem anyway, maybe that's what they are working on to provide the football match choice service as obviously there are more than 4 mini screens, usually there are at least 7.

Indeed, very impressed

Re: sky sports red button
It is visually almost identical to Sky's version except their red button merely says 'match choice' and there is a separate menu by pressing 'i' for stats and the draw (the options that VM have as 5 and 6 on their version).
Very good, i'm impressed.

Re: sky sports red button
It all looks pretty comprehensive to me.
It provides exactly the same services as Sky does, albeit in a slightly differening way.
Bodes well for the future when it fully launches.

Re: sky sports red button
I have Sky sports Red Button, however, both times I have used it I have had to reboot my Cisco VHD box as it froze all controls. After the reboot it works as it should.

I seem to recall I had a similar problem when BBC News Multiscreen launched in ex CWC areas after NGTV but it soon panned out and was mostly OK.

I am sure its just a teething problem, it looks really good.

I mostly had that problem when I had a V Box. I found if that box wasnt in standby when the EPG updated I had no choice but to reboot as the box simply locked up. Unlike the V+ i'm sure that box updated at 0600 so maybe the V HD box does too.
If I was awake and was using it the box always stuck for things like red button and needed rebooting just after 0600 for some reason, if it was in standby it was OK.

Sadly even us Sky punters don't even get it for all sports! Only EPL and UCL have it with the occasional La Liga match, Scottish and Football League matches are not covered let alone all other sports.
I am sure when it fully launches on VM you will get at least a comparable service to what Sky provided on their own platform when the deal was signed.

I have been with Telewest/Vm for about 15 years and I can honestly say the Cisco V HD box is the best I have ever had.

Cool, I found the V box great too with the exception of the reboot problem at 0600.
