Its funny though QVC,BBC,ITV all get their red button services working on VM i wonder just how incompatable the sky sports red button is with virgin medias platform if its taking all this time to impliment.? although i am hopeful it will arrive very soon please.

Well on sky sports match choice you can pick which game you want and record it i guess it is a bit different coding on vms network.So there could be the delay.

Will this red button work on all Sky Sports Ie when games are available behind the red button eg Champions league and NFL. VM are still advertising the XL TV pack as 160 channels is this correct with the loss of the Sky bought channels ?

I hope we get the choice where we can record any of the matches via the EPG.

Looking forward to confirmation of charges (if any) for TIVO to VIP customers not that I will take it until the 3rd tuner is activated.

Also looking forward to hearing the new VIP deals which I expect will come.

and

ESPNA HD
History HD

and any new channels really

Happy New Year one and all!!!

Just to get my foot in the door of the 'Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.' thread ...

See my post #79 in the Sky Atlantic on Virgin Media thread.

The expectation is that the SD channel will be available on BSkyB satellite, Virgin Media cable, FreeView DTT and possibly elsewhere. Also, they state that it will be 'an exclusive home' to some programming, meaning that those shows will not be available on other channels but may be available to other platforms on Sky Atlantic channel.

Not a very good start to the new year with the sky sports red button which was suppose to come in jan according to informed sources now likely to come at the end of april, typical Virgin and we are still waiting for more channels what with losing some channels on the 1st of jan and more at the end of jan.

Thanks for that gadge, yes you could well be right about it being to do with the coding on vms network and would require a box update which could take a while writing,i think the most disappointing thing is a lack of information such "as we are working hard and hope to have it by xxxxx date",that would at least let customers know it was somewhere in the pipeline i have no duubt its being worked on,but like on so many occasions vm do not seem to communicate very effectively with their customers.

Having said that its still not beyond the realms of possiblilty it will be here very soon.

Thanks Media Boy hopefully in time for the cricket world cup,which sky intend to have some matches on under the Red Button where they clash,ie two matches being played at the same time and sky only showing one on sky sports1/2.

If we can't do it with BBC multiscreen I doubt sly are going to allow it!

Found more info on the ITV +1 hour channels.

The following is from the Freeview web site:

A new channel, ITV1+1 in England & Wales, STV+1 in Scotland, UTV1+1 in Northern Ireland will launch on 11 January 2011.
