TiVo : Match Choice (Premier League)

[Skie]

I dont know that it would be entirely down to Sky. Yes, the numbers are displayed because Sky want people broadcasting their feeds on the interweb stopped, but to do that each number has to be unique to a subscriber. Sky provide the channels, but they don't run the platform. The software which displays the number is on your box, which is what would need changing.

So it's probably VM who need to move the damned thing to somewhere less obtrusive, not Sky. And VM being VM, they will take their sweet time to do it if its a box software change.

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.

would be good if they moved it to above sky sports hd dog like sky that would help

Spot on mate its the virgin box software that's generating those subscriber specific numbers( undoubtedly at Sky's request) but its Virgin that must move the number.

Sorry Nicko, when l spoke with VM, they told me it had nothing to do with them, and it was up to Sky to move it.
They said that they were in talks with Sky, but sadly we know what and how long these talks go on for. With VM you could be looking at a long time.

if VM directors read these forums, a little word from a customer - pull your finger out as my time with VM is now looking very slim.

How do Sky know your viewing card number, I'm sure Virgin aren't giving them to sky, and it wouldn't be any use anyway because the Virgin system is a closed system, Sky couldn't do anything on it without Virgin.

More likely that Virgin have got to comply with a Sky request or face repercussions from Sky.

I'll say with a fair degree of certantity it won't be sky telling them where to put that number. Sky put it in a totally different and discrete place so I hardly think they will make VM put it where they do.

Press record, play recording, no more number. On TiVo you can still mess around with menus, so its just the same as being on the channel itself.

That shows you that it's the box that's generates the number not Sky.
