Sky's red button app is totally incompatible with the cable software/hardware. it has been written from scratch with VM and Sky, so yes - it's technical

Re: sky sports red button

Surely if the red button was coming they would have mentioned it in their latest advert? Virgin don't exactly advertise very often. Given that sky have just heralded Atlantic I would have thought virgin would want to strike back tv wise asap? Obviously not!
