Re: sky sports red button

Why don't Virginmedia as a temporary measure simply set up 3 or 4 channels to stream the extra red button content?

No-one knows. It's not like it's unprecedented, as NTL did it before.

On the information I got says TiVo Virgin Viewers will get the Red Button on Sky Sports at an later date starting from August.

The July 31st date is only for non TiVo viewers to maybe get Phase 2.

Because Sky would sue? The red button is Sky's service, not VM's, and it's Sky that are developing it and Sky who operate it.

Besides, it's 14 channels, each with 9 audio tracks. You wouldn't be able to select the correct audio if they were normal channels.

Re: sky sports red button

I spoke to some cowboy on the phone today, he said no update, they have to get permission from Sky to start using the red Button Service and he denied they have already been testing it! has there been a setback or something we don't know about yet?

Why was he a "cowboy"? He's obviously not been given any information about it... The only thing that can be said is VM & TiVo are working on it.

Re: sky sports red button

It should be all about launching it on both box's before the football season starts. If they are working on it everyday it should be possible.
