Could anyone (and I mean you DF

xxx ) confirm if the red button on Sky Sports will include Football First/Match Choice. My brother in law wants to know

The reason I ask is that Sky seemed to suggest (on their compare and contrast web advert) that VM would only get a warered down version of Red button but from the list i saw on VM website it looks pretty much like everything.

Football first/match choice would seem the obvious one they would leave us out of.

Cheers

We will have to wait and see, but it's pretty comprehensive as far as I know.

I noticed VM didn't specifically mention Cricket Red Button on their website, it does say 'and more' or something like that but given they mentioned less popular sports I found it a bit surprising. We will see.

I'm happy with Virgin TV but my moan is about the remote control.Don't know if it's a age thing but prefer the 'Sky' remote.

Lots of people i suspect do subscribe like myself for the cricket not to have any Red Button coverage on the cricket would be a major omission,and i suspect cricket being a major sport for subscription reasons will be on the red button particularly as we are told it is the "full" red button that is coming,sky itself does not overly promote red button on the cricket unless you are watching or visit the cricket live on sky sports fixtures list on its website.

Cheers for that, I never knew it had been confirmed a full red button service was being provided, good news. I was going by Sky's website that said only 'some' would be available and that there was no mention of Cricket on the VM site.

Hi mersey 70 thats ok ,i read cannot rmember where that vm are due to get the full red button,i have seen the sky website and indeed it says "some" unless it means full red button on sky sports 1/2 and no red button on 3/4 like the HD,but i am sure after the sale of vmtv channels part of the deal was the full red button services,just a question of waiting and seeing now i think.

I read somewhere that VM have a new advertising program incl TV ads

are/will they say on that any info re the Sky Sports red button ?

there's some cricket matches in the World Cup starting at the end of this week that you can only see on the red button

Staff have said it's probably unlikely to be rolled out in time for the CWC, sorry.
