Honestly, it's not difficult, and Virgin are depressingly bad at it.
Should any statement from Virgin be open to interpretation anyway?

Dunno... I read it the way they intended though  Not sure what the fuss is all about, personally 
Does anyone know what VM customers don't get?

Sky Sports 4/HD4 has red button but your not missing much as the red button is just the Arsenal v Milan which is on Sky Sports 2/HD2 anyway.

Well that was always going to be the cases with one or two things missing but we will still get a huge amount of red button content.

Why would Sky seriously hold back Fanzone I bet there's only one in ten fans actually bother with it , maybe the contract between the two only cover certain sports/events/features.

Because there are only two matches and they are on separate channels.

In the broadcasting section on D/S in a thread there are Sky customers complaining they are not getting Fanzone either sorry cannot link as i am at work at the moment.
Perhaps Sky are phasing it out who knows.
