Re: Sky red button not working

Fortunately there is an option to pay extra for what had been a standard feature on my old sky box. Still some work to do for virgin if they want to retain me after my contract expires…


Unfortunately, with Virgin as a reseller it comes down to what Sky choose to offer third parties. The HD/UHD supplements are a Sky imposed charge, as are the satellite driven Red Button services, which are far worse quality than the Broadband driven service they give their own customers.

VM BB TV Landline. Vonage 2nd line. Freeview/Freesat HD, ASDA/Tesco PAYG Mobile. Customer since 1993

Re: Sky red button not working

HI had the virgin engineer out here yesterday, he  agreed its down to the outdated Tivo box, our next problem we have business broadband and he told us the V360 or V6 box will not work with internet via business broadband. We did not know that. Residential broadband is now the same as Business broadband (same speeds) so we will have to go back to normal home broadband. Wished we had never got business broadband. Caused so many issues when things go wrong.

So Monday we will have to ring Virgin and go back to Home broadband then try and sign up for a new package that supplies home broadband and a new V6 or V360 box.

This is turning into an epic just trying to get the sky red button to work.
