I agree defo.

Personally I think Â£7 for 2 hd channels is outrageous,never mind charging it per box. If it were for all 4 sports channels plus sports news channel then that would be better value.

You seem to have forgotten about the Movies channels as well

But he only has sports listed in his profile so it would be Â£7.00 for two channels.

I did not think that you were just able to get the sports in HD, I thought that you had to get both the Sports and Movie's together. I may be wrong again.

No you can just have sports and add the premium HD.

Nothing surprises me about Sky greediness.

RamJet · 03-06-2011, 11:09

well

I didn't order a TiVo box because I knew from CF that the Ren Button was on Sky Sports on the V+ box

I have just turned on the Cricket Test Match from Lords - listened to the commentator saying what great information was on the Red Button

grabbed a coffee - pressed the Red Button >>>>>>>> NOTHING ?????

No information no stats no nothing

what what is going on ? ? ?

BenMcr · 03-06-2011, 11:24

Because even on V+, Red Button is not available on everything yet

If you don`t subscribe to the movies channels you only get 2 sports hd channels! Were`s the confusion in that? I have no interest in the movies but love sport so I subsribe to the sky sports channels in SD. If I want them in HD I have to pay another Â£7 and that`s just for 2 channels! A rip off as far as I`m concerned.

Yes I do blame sky for this. My gripe is with sky`s greed not with virgin.

yes but we are talking about test cricket !

I don't understand - we were advised in this forum for several months that it was taking time to get the software right

does this mean that after all this software development time all we are going to get is a second TV-stream if we click the red button

I've been a loyal VM customer for about 9 years and before that a Nynex customer

I have waited and waited for the red button cricket stats and even after all the waiting we still don't get what I understood we were to get

I am miserable

I am going finally going to to ring Sky

I kind of know how you feel in the 2nd Test match recently West indies v Pakistan series vm customers did not even get the extra TV Stream(when sky transferred the match to red button) in fact we got no Red Button content! I rang vm and they said there was a technical issue,and after e-mailing Neil Berketts office a nice lady rang me back and gave me another reason to do with sky decidng at the moment the content it supplies to vm! and in my discussion with her she was good enough to say the full red button may even not be available until the fourth quarter sometime.

The explanation she gave rang true but at least i felt i was being levelled with so was happy enough.

4th quarter of what?
