is there a list anywhere as to what programs - esp live cricket - that will carry the red button

We switched from Sky to Virgin Media because their internet connection is so much better. There "on demand" is excellent but I do think Sky have a better TV package as you cannot get Sky Atlantic or Sky HD channels on Virgin media. I paying for the XL package which includes Sky and it is infuriating that they do not make available important games such as the Celtic v Motherwell game on Sunday.

I have nothing but praise for Virgin Media Customer Services. They sort out problems quickly and will replace a faulty box at no extra charge. Sky except you to pay insurance for their boxes and their Customer Services is very poor.

I will not switch back to Sky as a result of their blackmailing techniques. Virgin Media for me even if I cannot watch certain Sky channels - though I am tempted to cancel the Sky Sports channel and I would if ESPN showed all the SPL games.

Any such list would probably have all red button content on SS but this won't all be available via red button on VM

Are you sure they said on the red button , as rugby league usually show extras after on Sky Sports Extra online and that's only available to Sky customers I think.

Has Virgin Cable finally got full access to the Sky Sports red button service?!, i.e., if i was to watch live county Cricket will i have access to Sky Sports Active where i can change the camera angle to view stump-cam?, the reason i ask is because the only red button service i can see is the bottom right-hand-corner red button logo for the Cricket on the Sky Sports 4 channel, it's still a good iniative considering Cable customers have been waiting for over ten years for any red button serice on BSkyB channels.

At the moment it's a partial service. It'll be a few months until it is complete.

The features you mention (camera angles and stump-cam?) are not available on Sky as far as I know, I have not seen it anyway. They canned the camera angle and player cam stuff years ago for football.

Red Button on any sport is now just used for extra content with the odd stat and highlight threw in.
