Re: sky sports red button
Well there has to be sport on in order to have something to broadcast!

Watched the Spurs Manu game yesterday and there was no red button on either my V+ or VHD boxes
---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------
Just called faults and was told vm don't support the red button and sky sports on v+, vhd or v box anymore
---------- Post added at 12:54 ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 ----------
Can see Match Choice red button on the current programme and neither my V+ or VHD boxes respond to pressing the red button

There is no interactive coverage today according to the schedule? What time did you check it yesterday?

Re: sky sports red button
Yesterday was 6pm during Ford super sunday (no red button was shown)
Today at about 12:15 on SS1 there was a red button labelled "match choice" which didnt work on either my VHD or V+ boxes

the schedule says there wasn't red button available last night or today though, so not sure why you saw a "match choice" option?? 
the next red button event is as follows:

Champions League - Last 16: 6th March, 7.30pm (Sky Sports 4 only)

My point us that the vm website states that "sky sports red button services are fully available....." which is clearly not true
