Thanks for the explanation Lew, it has clafified me a bit, and too be honest made me feel a bit better and more confident that we will see a pretty good Red button service when fully functional.

I expect we will see a few events, and as the months roll on, we will get access to more and more with greater funtionality, until the new footy season starts, when hopefully it will be all systems go!

Thanks again

I am sure when it fully launches on VM you will get at least a comparable service to what Sky provided on their own platform when the deal was signed.

They should give sky customers all sports red button content

Just tried it on my parents' SA V+ box. The multiscreen app loads OK and I can select the 4 different streams (which actually look quite good quality for SD streams), but I can't select the "Stats" or "Draw" options. I can't select them with the cursor keys and pressing the relevant number on the keypad does nothing.

Might need a little reboot?

By they I assume you mean BSkyB?

None of us have any facts to say they haven't, it could merely be technical reasons why they are not currently available now.

Or it could be a business decision by VM having not been ready to provide it to Tivo customers.

I honestly think it is high time VM customers stopped assuming everything is down to Sky. Let's face it you now have 16 of Sky's own branded HD channels and now even the red button.

The old argument of Sky hogging things is something I find boring now, maybe it's time VM customers started questioning their own provider more than BSkyB.

Nevertheless no one ever said a full red button service would launch right now, i'm sure it will though soon.

There is a slight delay when I do it

Already done that.

I have left feedback on the Help and support forum on my experience with Sky Sports Red Button. They are going to pass my comments on.

DF you might want to pass onto the guy that drew the red box that he's not got it quite right yet :p

I wonder what STB those pics are from. On my parents' SA V+ the red box fits the video streams correctly.

As it does on my box.

The red box stayed on the screen when I chose stream 4. Samsung V+ box. Not that bothered myself as I was just trying it out during half-time in the Scottish football, but it could do with sorting.

Mine is a tick tocking SA V+ box >
