At the risk of raising your blood prssure further  wether you miss the Red Button does to some degree depend on wether you are a sports fan myself i watch sport and the times a match has started on the main sky sports channels, only to find when the match is halfway in it goes on the Red Button  ,at £22.50 a month for sky sports it should not happen and will not for much longer.
Lots of cricket in this cricket world cup has been on the Red Button so in that sense it is new content when it arrives as before we could not see it.
But yes in some cases as you say posters should get a grip.

Squeeze me? I know that it is a Red Button Thread and that it is going to be mentioned, But how can it be VMs fault as the coding for the red button has to be re-written from scratch for the VM platform. So as i have said get a grip and do the research about it?

  :Yes And the announcement of the Red Button arriving was made way back in June 2010. We are close to a year but yet more hot air from VM staff.

No offence Devil but the red button is very important to some people like me that's one of the reasons I switched , I wouldn't come on here slating you for constantly raving on TIVO as I know its a big thing for you.

Not making excuses but there was an awful lot of work i gather that went into developement virgins platform was incompatible with it,so the programme had to be written from scratch, so i would think to some degree thats why it has taken some time wait nearly over now though.

Yes I agree with this and also I am a big sports fan, But my sports other than football are on Eurosport and also Extreme. The main reason for this is because is I am a cyclist/mountain biker and used to do a lot of athletics when i was younger.

Whatever you say the press release about the Red Button and other deals Sky purchasing VM channels was released in June 2010. You are the one who is clueless and full of false info

Re: sky sports red button
ENOUGH
The thread topic is about the red button functionality on VM. If you can't handle another posters opinions then put them on ignore or just plain ignore them. Any more baiting and sniping will end up with action being taken.
Right I've removed a load of off-topic and flaming posts. This thread will remain closed for another 5 minutes or so in order that everyone can have a read of this warning, any further off-topic posts after this will probably incur formal warnings.
