For Sky boxes this is easy, as the Sky box that is being used puts the numbers onto the screen locally (i.e the card number of the card within the box is pasted up). But with unofficial satellite receivers, the numbers do not appear. Thus VM would not be able to do it, because unofficial receivers are being used to view the channels, and even if offiicial receivers were used at the upload servers, no-one is ever going to see them.
