Re: sky sports red button

Is it set to 4:3 or widescreen?

Its rubbish, it just freezes on 'Just a moment' all the time. stupid Samsung V+ and SA V+ boxes

No good if you keep having to reboot them is it Virgin.

I honestly think it is high time VM customers stopped assuming everything is down to Sky. Let's face it you now have 16 of Sky's own branded HD channels and now even the red button.

The old argument of Sky hogging things is something I find boring now, maybe it's time VM customers started questioning their own provider more than BSkyB.


Nevertheless no one ever said a full red button service would launch right now, i'm sure it will though soon.
Which you said yourself earlier in this thread we only gained as part of the deal to sell the VM tv channels. That says it all really.

You need to leave it for a little bit if it says "just a moment" as it's actually still loading data. If it sticks for more than 1 min then a reboot may be needed.

It's still in soft launch phase so we are ironing out any last minute issues.

Matt its a new piece of Tech you have to give it a bit of time, just like TiVo, there will be teething problems. Leave feedback on the help and support forum they are pleased to receive it, as it helps them to assess the problems and create fixes.

The other night on SS1 HD the red button was just showing cricket at the side of it, this loaded fine, but on SS2 HD it just showed a red button, pressing it brought up the just a moment caption, but nothing actually ever loaded, no matter how many times itried it, but switching back again the cricket loaded fine...

It's working fine here now on the Samsung V+. It's just a shame I don't like tennis.

Standard 1080. My TV is setup to display native 4:3 images correctly though, not in stretch-o-vision so that's what might be causing the red boxes to be displayed wrong. Box-generated graphics are displayed in 4:3.

ok thanks. Hope the issues are ironed out soon because even after a reboot it just freezes again.
