Re: sky sports red button
What's happened to the red button service on Sky Sports 1 for Cable?, I want to watch the Cricket with WI vs. IND as well, the service was available only a fortnight ago!
I wish the Sky Sports "Active" red button service was available for the Cricket on Virgin Media. (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKpQ9jhIQss)

Goodness knows mate the nearest i have come to finding out is by emailing neil berkett and if you read one of my earlier psotings on this thread i was called up and given some explanation see post 1424 page 95.All in all though its a very poor state of affairs a bit like Kevin pietersens recent batting performances..

Re: sky sports red button
It looks like the HD charge per box is defo being removed on Sky in September not sure how this affects VM charge.

I've seen many other posts stating the same and a Sky worker who claims the same.

Re: sky sports red button
It will be interesting to see what happens , Sky are changing some of their packages about in September and a Sky employee says the max rise anyone will see is £1.00 with some seeing a reduction and some froze , I'll believe that when I see it LOL.

Virgin have no say alone in whether they drop the charge or not, it's set by a commercial agreement with Sky

Well if Virgin had a lists of events that are on the red button that would be a help but remember we are still in phase 1 of the red button.
