TiVo Match Choice (Premier League)

Where's the goddam match choice again conspicuous by its absence, it's outrageous subscribers paying premium prices to get this lousy service.

I just wanted to chip in and say that I noticed that as well on Sat, that it wasn't there for ages. I really wanted to watch Chelsea lose!! (Sorry Chelsea fans).

What is realling getting on my nerves, is that damn number appearing on the bottom left corner of the tv during live football.

I called VM last night and they it was Sky's fault, and they said they were trying to sort the problem out, how long does it take.

I emailed VM and Sky this morning this morning to complain bitterly, we are paying to watch a game of football and we have these numbers appear.

Sky have replied and its going to there programme department for a reply - VM as typical, l am still waiting for a reply.

Watching football through my TIVO Box now. there is a number shown in the bottom left hand corner of the TV Screen, the number is 1138828166. This number comes and goes on the screen, it has been on and gone off on 3 different occasions during this game, Any one else got it and what is it?

Hi PMordecai, As part of our Domestic Broadcast Security arrangements, a nine digit number may appear in the right hand corner of screen for up to five minutes during live football broadcasts or sporting events.

Steve, I appreciate your comments, but my annoyance is the fact that l have spoken with Sky, last night and emailed them today, I spoke with VM last night and sent an email to the CEO this morning.

And would you believe it that l have had more info from Sky, and NOTHING from VM on this matter.

I understand from a member on here that Sky want VM to pay for the logo to be moved, what a load of tosh.

Sky have said it can be moved and are dealing with it, BUT we should all boycott VM Sports Channels unless VM directors pull there fingers out of there backside and look after there customers and get this sorted.

IF, it is to be moved it could be moved up to where the logo appears or the score line. I am good money to weatch live football, not a number.

Well as VM get their channel feed from Sky, then there is not much choice if Sky are runing those numbers on screen.

Why oh why should we Boycott the sports channels do to some numbers that sometimes appear on screen, and are outwith VMs control?

The main difference being on Sky it's neatly hidden over the Sky Sports HD DOG.

Arthurgray50@blu · 04-12-2012, 15:57

Sky have said that they are trying to get numbers moved, BUT according to VM they have said that Sky want paying to move the numbers . Sky have said that VM are trying to put the blame on them.

I spoke with both companies last night. The only replies l have had are from Sky, NOT from VM.

As members have said on here, they are paying a lot of money to watch Sky Sports so why can't they move the numbers.

because they don't control the channel Arthur sky do cant you see that

MalteseFalcon · 04-12-2012, 16:12

SKY own the Sports channel, not Virgin, so how can Virgin do anything about the number on the screen?

Arthurgray50@blu · 04-12-2012, 17:29

I had a call from VM at 6pm tonight and they explained to us what the problem was and they are talking with Sky over this problem, and yes l do know its down to Sky.

Surely these two companies can get together and sort the problem out. It does not need a brain surgeon to move it from one corner to the other.
