Are you sure? People on digital spy are saying its a ref number to accounts.

they say it goes if you change channel and back again or if you watch it on a second delay.

This doesn't happen with my box so I believe all virgin customers are seeing the same number

my number was 1133851279

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

So don't stream the feed from your box on the internet.

If the answer to that is "I'm not" then they won't be tracking your account.

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

When I became an early adopter, many of the forums especially TiVo Community Forum (primarily TiVo S1 owners) said "record everything" I was having none of it I just wanted to watch what I wanted when I wanted. However after many weeks of having my TiVo automatically change channel on me for suggestions I started to record everything I wanted to watch even if I was watching the live broadcast. The upshot of this learnt technique is that I personally have never seen this mysterious number.

It is a rather silly security measure (Reported on many forums and probably even this forum on another thread) that is so easily defeated I can't understand the point of it, just watch everything from My Shows (in other words record) and you'll never see the number.

l suppose that depends on your point of view.:)

Complete over the top knee jerk reaction :rolleyes:

Would you like to produce some REAL evidence they are doing that ?

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

I had this yesterday, didn't bother me much. It wasn't up long.

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

I'm not streaming from my box but just started to get this today and had this at parents at the weekend.

Is this on Sky as well or just on VM ?

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

ok thanks

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

It's also on Sky , just had it appear on the United game. It appears on Sky above the Sky Sports 2 HD logo.

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

How many Virgin customers subscribe to SKY Sports? I'm sure a couple of years ago Virgin publish a figure. If anyone has any ideas, or a link to figures, I'd be very grateful.

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

I cancelled my subscription to Sky Sports yesterday because of the interference the number gives to my viewing and i'm sure others will follow if this is not rectified swiftly.

At least in a week or so's time i'll have Sky installed and will be able to watch Sky Sports without any interference.

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

Doesn't Sky has the number too?

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

Yes they do but they have their number above the Sky Sports logo and it's of similar font and brightness as the logo itself so you don't notice it much (if at all really)

Re: Sky Sports 1
 

I thought it was the number of times that Siralex pointed at his watch whilst United were losing. I was going to shout "Twist". Mysteriously, once United went in front, his watch seemed to be OK again...
