No its definately a soft launch DF though the info from top bosses at vm is woeful but that is not your fault. just pleased it has made an appearnace now.

By the way not all people subscribe to sky sports for the football however i agree the majority do though. Would have been nice to have viewed Red Button matches in the recent cricket world cup.

Re: sky sports red button

Football will NOT be on the Sky Sports Red Button until next season.

Info from Virgin Media.com

Quote:
We’re giving you more control with Sky Sports red button.
Soon it will be even easier to catch your team on telly, thanks to the Sky Sports red button.


If they’re not showing on the main channel, all you need to do is press the red button on your remote control, and Bob’s your uncle, you can scroll through all the games and select your side. It’ll work for all 2011-2012 Barclays Premier League matches, plus any UEFA Champions League match, ATP tennis, US Open, Heineken Cup and more. Plus, your clever red button unlocks loads of news and stats, too. And an extra bonus, from late spring you can use it to track down smaller sports events, games or highlights, too. Just keep an eye out for the red button appearing on your Sky Sports premium channels. Nice one!

Re: sky sports red button

In the press release it says this:

"Sky Sports Red Button kicks off with its first sporting event on Thursday 28th April with International Cricket: West Indies v Pakistan. There is a schedule of events coming up including Masters Tennis and the Rugby Super League in May."

There are 2 masters tennis events in may the madrid and rome masters but the madrid master is the only event to have red button facilities so it must be the tennis tomorrow.
