The official Planned Updates thread on the tivocommunity forum says late 2011/early 2012 for Sky Sports red button on TiVo:

"Sky sports red button will not be available on TiVo until late 2011 early 2012 however will be available next month on V+ and V boxes."

He's around - I would make a guess that he got fed up with all the Sky v Virgin bickering going on, but I could be wrong.

He instigated a lot of it , one was Sky being petty over mini screen , which was proved to have been contract wrangling and is now sorted , plus why wouldn't people compare to the biggest pay TV provider in the UK.

Not so much bickering i would guess in my case it would just be nice if virgin levelled with us thats all and communicated officially after all they are a communications company, but Digital Fanatic has only tried to be helpful on here on a personal level and i for one will not run him down.

We all know that DF works for VM so it's hardly surprising if he posts in their favour. That happens on all forums. Also if Sky were stopping paying customers from viewing their channels in the mini screen it's hardly a big deal to say they are being petty. With this constant barrage of petty criticism it's hardly surprising if he's had enough.
