As far as I recall though I didn't notice the glass on Sky 3D when I have watched matches at a bar.
I also read some pubs were even putting a glass sticker on their screens but they now use different coloured glass dogs and change the position so an inspector could spot them. But as has been said that wouldn't help them with the serial number appearing on screen anyway.
I must say that although i'm not a frequent visitor to pubs I don't recall anyone using a domestic Sky subscription anyway, and of course lots of outlets seemingly still use use overseas packages too

I never come across a pub using a domestic sky sub on a sky box, but i have come across the few that use a VM box to show sky sports, thats is just as bad, one pub had the VM box on display for all to see, and another the epg came up a few times, the area i live in is a very very popular area for virgin media
