Red button not working on Sky Sports

I am trying to watch the France v Netherlands game which is advertised as being available on the Sky Sports red button service. However, when I press the red button I get a message saying "There are no interactive services on this channel".

Normally I have no issues viewing games via the red button. Why am I unable to see this one?

Will I also be unable to view the Denmark v Germany game later?

I am currently having to view this through the Sky Sports app on a tiny phone screen. I have used my Virgin Media log in details to get to this so it looks like it should be something I can view on my current package.

Hi DaveGlassboy

 

Thanks for posting. Apologies for the delayed reply and the red button issue. I've checked here and it was a known fault but apologies nonetheless. 

 

I've checked the fixtures and *think* the next one is tomorrow on the red button so any issues, let us know and we'll be happy to help.
