I suspect the Red Button will give VM viewers access to live video streams for the cricket,champions league,tennis,golf ect ect but may not give vm viewers access to match choice and or other interactive content however we shall only know once it arrives for sure.

Would be a great shame if it wasn't match choice , that is one good feature for football fans.

I agree with you on that one it could well be that is included however as you say the link does seem to suggest some interactive content will not be available, and i would suspect it may well be that sort and of course the stats pages that are available ,i would think that the deal mainly includes the live match streams that sky show on the Red Button,but of course we may well be pleasantly surprised.

When it launches it will not be the full red button service but that will improve over time.

From the info VM have released thus far i take it the main sports will be shown from the start but one of the links i read said that smaller sports would be covered from late spring,however how full the service will be from the start i suppose will only be apparant when it does actually start ie around easter.

So is it right to assume that match choice probably won't be part of the VM red button for the foreseeable future ?

I suppose some sort of service is better than none , but the football fanatics may not see it that way.

I expect a third rate service on the red button knowing Virgin, remember we are still waiting for other things from the Sky deal.

It will have a 3 stage launch.

Match choice will be part of the service in time for the 2011/12 football season.

Come on denphone, cut VM some slack here.

We are in the final stages of testing and PACE boxes had their download ready for launch last week.

As I say it will be a 3 stage launch. TiVo will be the last to get the service, but it will be in time for Premiership Football.

I have always given them plenty of time but one hopes they can deliver everything they say they will by august if not it will be more then me that will be disgruntled by them.
