			What is the point of the box number showing? At first I thought it was to try and discourage streaming but if that is the reason then it seems completely pointless because its not as if any of the streamers subscribe to VM or Sky.

			It is still completely pointless, however, since all you have to do is record it and watch the recording as live and the number disappears.

			Premier Sports have two sports I'm pretty fond of , Ice Hockey and Rugby League sadly they do not have a HD channel meaning there offering is devalued to me.
