Yes Sky Sports Red Button is on TiVo boxes now

Quote:
Great news! The wait is nearly over for our TiVo customers who’ve been waiting for Premier League Red Button coverage.

What are we launching?

Starting with Background Events so that our Sky Sports customers on TiVo can follow over-running, clashing and extra live Sports that won’t fit on Sky Sports 1-4. And then shortly followed by Football First for extended highlights of every Premier League match played on the day.

When are we launching?

MBE (Multiple Background Events) will launch on March 2nd and Football First on March 3rd. After that we’ll be launching Formula 1, Tennis will be coming later in the summer and both Champions League and Heineken Cup will be there for the start of the next season.

Please note: events are subject to change without notice

What channels will Sky Sports interactive be available on?

The interactive Red Button application will be available, for TiVo customers on the following Sky Sports Channels.

Sky Sports 1 511 & Sky Sports 1HD 517
Sky Sports 2 512 & Sky Sports 2 HD 518
Sky Sports 3 513
Sky Sports 4 514
Sky Sports F1 (when it launches)

I don’t subscribe to Sky Sports, how can I do this to take advantage of the Red Button services that will be available on selected events?

All you need to do is arrange an upgrade to Sky Sports, the Red Button service (available on selected events only) will be available at no extra charge.

When will BBC red button interactive services launch?

More good news! We’ve been working with the BBC to launch Red Button services on TiVo and we’re hoping to start the roll out in April. This service will launch a menu over BBC channels.

We’ll be communicating further interactive service launches as and when they happen - so watch this space!

I went through to retentions. Once you've confirmed your account press Option 5 (thinking of leaving us) then option 2. They should sort it out no problem. I didn't have any problems anyway. Hope this helps you....Chris

Certain sources have had a word in my ear and thats all l am going to say on that matter as some people are voiceing their displeasure and l am not in the process of upsetting some people.

Simples Alan to give the viewer more of a chance for them to catch something they might have missed earlier either because they were watching something else or were busy doing something else.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1

I'd rather have More4+1 than +2. That is the only thing I miss from SKY, not having +1 for More4.

Am all for more channels launching, but where do they draw the line.

Will we see ITV4 + 4 etc?

Valuable EPG slots could be better utilized in my opinion.
