Re: sky sports red button
Asked Virgin by e mail how much I would be a month if I dropped my tv package and had phone and bb only. As an aside I asked when red button was coming? Reply was £32.99 and that they weren't aware that the red button was coming to virgin!! What the freak is that about?

Re: sky sports red button
looks like your CS agent not up to speed. from VM's website ( sorry if quoted before)
"We’re giving you more control with Sky Sports red button.
Soon it will be even easier to catch your team on telly, thanks to the Sky Sports red button.
If they’re not showing on the main channel, all you need to do is press the red button on your remote control, and Bob’s your uncle, you can scroll through all the games and select your side. It’ll work for all 2011-2012 Barclays Premier League matches, plus any UEFA Champions League match, ATP tennis, US Open, Heineken Cup and more. Plus, your clever red button unlocks loads of news and stats, too. And an extra bonus, from late spring you can use it to track down smaller sports events, games or highlights, too. Just keep an eye out for the red button appearing on your Sky Sports premium channels. Nice one!"

It sounds like the person you spoke to isn't clued up on their products. Maybe their first week on the job?

Was via their feedback form that they issue, the reply was in writing. So unless they use newbies to reply to feedback? Nah wouldn't have thought so either. Kind worrying don't u think?

I filled in a feedback form about ESPNA HD last July 2010 and got a reply that turned out to be from India,telling me that it would be starting on the 7th August, However, this was totally false as we all know and when I complained all I was told was that the person who wrote the reply was using the info from 2009 when ESPN HD launched and ESPNA was relaunched. I would just put it down to human error.

If that is the case i would take it Virgin got the best deal from sky they could which would not be ideal for customers but better then no Red Button at all,it seems for the living channels which is all sky were really after,vm were able to get a 9 year carriage deal,sky 1 Hd,Red Button interactive and the option although not taken up yet to have sky arts 1/2 HD which all in all seems not too bad a deal.But for the football fans out there i hope football first match choice is included after all £22.50 a month for all sky sports channels is pretty hefty.
