Sky Sports Interactive

[forson123]

Hi
i would like to know if the Sky Sport Interactive option is available for the Sky UK package

Interactive - are PPV channels as far as i know and one can order them only using original (official) receiver connected to stationary telephone SkyUK network. Modem will call and order by itself. We have no such option and will never be (please remember that uncoupled cards are used here).
Moreover,

"On 22 August 1999, Sky utilized a feature of the, then new, Sky Digital system to allow an interactive football match to be shown. Viewers were given the ability to choose the things such as which camera they viewed during the Arsenal vs. Manchester United. The concept proved popular[1] and soon Sky used the new interactive service, known as Sky Sports Active, for other sports.
Sky Sports Red Button (interactive) services are available for Virgin TV customers who subscribe to Sky Sports."

We never heard of the Virgin TV and do not know what is this.

Sly Sports Interactive channels are available in the SkyUK package, they are listed in the channels list as numbers i.e. 1395, 1484, and many more. These have are all the things available on Sky Red button.

Suma, Virgin Tv are the providers of the UK's version of Cable TV, they provide channels via Cabling underground instead of Satellite on each house. They don't affect CS. Though are you or the moderator aware of the New Card Pairing problems that Sky are introducing in the near future?

If you would like further information regarding this pm me and I will let you know what info I have on this subject.

Best regards,

David
