It musn't be available on VM right now.

It's working on Sky but not much to write home about today other than highlights and goal flashes.

I wonder why they have fired up the 14 interactive streams as they don't seem to be getting used much, let's see if match choice pops up at 1015.

From the launch webpage and what staff have said on here it seems unlikely but I guess you will know soon enough!

I am sure it will be available next season though.

Let's face it though VM's publicity of the service has been a bit watered down too. We have no idea what the contract involved and whether it has to be staggered, whatever the reason.

I have a hunch (just my opinion) they don't want to upset the blessed Tivo customers too much when they have shelled out for a service that cannot even provide BBC red button never mind Sky, it might keep people with V/V HD/V+ a bit longer if the full red button was available on those boxes now. What those 14 streams are providing though is anyones guess, they definitely seem to have comparable capacity to Sky's red button services.

It will pan out, I think it will be a pretty comprehensive service eventually.

Masque knew the launch date before us (understanable), he has confirmed that.

I doubt call centre staff would know much more than us about what will actually be provided though.

Lets hope so as it gives the viewer much more options.

I knew a bit about when and how but i was not going to post it ahead of the release the other day. We as staff have to agree to a confidentiality clause about posting on forums when it comes to new products.
