Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

Bit odd to call it at a sky sports free weekend when it ends on the sunday morning...but not one to complain... i already have sky sports but refuse to pay for HD channels so its nice theyre becoming free though.

Dont know whether to watch the hd though as it might make me then hate the SD ... hmmm

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2014) Vol. 3

As everyone's currently talking about Sky Sports I'll point this out in here. Has anyone else noticed the little symbol in the bottom right hand corner on all the Sky Sports channels apart from News HQ. It seems to be part of the broadcast picture as it stays when I bring up menus or go into delay viewing. Is this some sort of new security feature like Sky have on the streams in their apps?

Especially golf. You can really see the contours of the green in HD.

Yes that's it!

Is it going to stay on screen permanently? If so it would be better if it was nearer the edge of the screen.

I haven't seen it myself yet, but I guess its the security feature so Sky/VM know you are watching a legit version of Sky Sports

Virgin Media no longer deal in non domestic television services (Sky charged them so much to retail sport that it became unsustainable and VM withdrew from the market).

So, VM have no incentive to care if someone is using a domestic subscription in, for example, a pub.

I imagine that this symbol is more likely to be a security measure in connection with card sharing.

How do VM know if you have this symbol on your screen or not?
