Lucky I didn't pay to get Sky Sports added to my package to watch it...I'll just have to stream it as usual!
It is another mistake

Thanks, but that's not exactly encouraging if there have been two different versions of the document published and they have both been wrong!

Re: sky sports red button

I would expect that they'll review the whole schedule to make sure it's completely correct

Re: sky sports red button

I'm not sure of the functional roadmap or what the boxes (either V box or TiVo) can or cannot support

Re: sky sports red button

3 reboots on V+ box last night to finally get red button to activate.Should I demand a new box since this one obviously does not support the feature properly?

I have to reboot my Samsung V+ every time I want the Red Button on Sky Sports to work. It gets stuck on 'just a moment'

This has been going since the Sky Sports red button became available

All my other Red Button services are working fine

Re: sky sports red button

I don't know if it's Sky's problem or the feed being provided to them, but the RedZone seems to be suffering from the same picture problem the TiVo boxes show with SD downscaling. If you look closely at the screen you can clearly see that the line order is wrong.

Just put Red Zone on the red button at my fathers and his Samsung V+ required a reboot to get it to work.
