I did notice cricket which was supposedly in phase 1 of the roll out in fact it was the first Red Button content VM had from sky sports ,has been sporadic with some matches being shown on Red Button not available to vm sky sports subscribers,on that evidence it does not look too promising,mind you i managed to stream the cricket content from the net sky had on the Red Button.

Not necessarily as was said on the blog all dates subject to change,when i emailed Neil Berketts office over the Red Button issue a nice lady rang me back,and after a conversation i was told phase 2 may even be in quarter 4 ie after september but she may have meant thats when they hope to launch sky sports Red Button on TiVo,so lets wait and see.

Oh and i was also told by her when having a conversation about some cricket red button matches on sky but not available on vm.its up to sky what they supply so do not hold your breath.

Re: sky sports red button

Any news on when this will launch on Tivo? I really want it for the Champion's League games next season.

Is it possible? it's a shame Tivo customers have to wait so long when we have had to pay a premium to get the box and a fee each month.

You don't pay the Tivo fee for red button services, the £3 is for the spyware......................sorry TIVO EPG to look at what you what you watch and find shows similar that you may enjoy.
