True, I didn't think of that. Do the menu highlights match up on your Sky box or is it like in my pics?
no they match up fine.

Re: sky sports red button

I think you may need to look at your setup Lew, mine is fine on all fronts.

I wonder if the match choice options will be in HD one day?

QPR v Bolton and Liverpool v Sunderland are both being broadcast in the wrong aspect ratio on the Red Button stream. The other 3 games are displayed correctly.

The problem with the overlay boxes not fitting the screens correctly is probably a limitation of the software. I suspect you have the same config as me, with all aspect ratios displayed correctly and not stretched.

Re: sky sports red button

Ours is working now on our V+ Box but does seem a bit buggy. When we press the red button and the message box saying "Please wait" appears it does seem to freeze more often than not resulting in us having to reboot the box.

Re: sky sports red button

If it hangs on the "Please wait" message you can sometimes return to live TV by pressing the blue button on your remote rather than rebooting.
