Doubt it as the Red Button functionality was only negotiated for sky sports apparently!.

Just been on the phone to virgin media to cancel both my tv and phone service over this the customer service agent told me yes sky sports Red Button is due to launch on virgin media but has not done yet and they do not know when it will.

So much for the vm employees on here who claimed it had launched when apparently it has not well done vm.

Yep have to say virgin staff on here seem to be at best misleading customers on here, if not out and out lying. Had a look on Virgin forum on Digital Spy seems the have no faith in the in the know crowd on here and seem to post no such lies/rumours.

Congratulations Richard for believing in better 

Perhaps they are posting to the best of their knowledge, and trying to be helpful.

Calling them liars is totally inappropriate, and reflects more on your attitude than their efforts, imho.

Surely though if vm employees are posting more up to date info could be made available, after all it took me a call to customer services today to tell me sky sports red button had not launched,despite vm employees on here claiming it had.

Imho it would be better for staff not to say anything about things that are coming soon, unless they know for certain that it is happening.
They are just setting themselves up for the sort of comments made by other posters who are obviously becoming very frustrated with them.

Could I just point out that a number of posters on CF repeatedly state that you can't trust anything a CSA tells you, and there has been a lot of confusion with the TiVo launch with contradictory messages from CSAs, and suddenly it seems what they say must be the source of all truth....

But that wasn't the point I was making - it was that perhaps the VM staff posting on here are telling us what they believe is happening, rather than lying, which, imho, is a foul calumny.

Virgin media has never had the red button so far,so how could you be referring to that.

I work for VM and because of a few on here i will not post anything that has anything to do with VM, It not worth the abuse and bad abusive Pm's when you say something that the few don't like to hear or agree with and they know who they are

Don't really understand that mate. As far as I can see there wouldn't be a problem if people posted fact. Seems to me though that none of these "insider rumours" actually bare fruit! Is it any wonder that your companies customers get angry. My God someone posted that cs had contacted them to say that they would add channels THIS YEAR! and it was greater as some sort of triumph by some. Let's face it nothing is coming to Virgin any time soon. Unless u count Arts HD announced 9 months ago

Well it has it now, but not for anything useful such as match choice.
