So don't stream the feed from your box on the internet.

If the answer to that is "I'm not" then they won't be tracking your account.

When I became an early adopter, many of the forums especially TiVo Community Forum (primarily TiVo S1 owners) said "record everything" I was having none of it I just wanted to watch what I wanted when I wanted. However after many weeks of having my TiVo automatically change channel on me for suggestions I started to record everything I wanted to watch even if I was watching the live broadcast. The upshot of this learnt technique is that I personally have never seen this mysterious number.

It is a rather silly security measure (Reported on many forums and probably even this forum on another thread) that is so easily defeated I can't understand the point of it, just watch everything from My Shows (in other words record) and you'll never see the number.

I'm not streaming from my box but just started to get this today and had this at parents at the weekend.

Is this on Sky as well or just on VM ?

It's also on Sky , just had it appear on the United game. It appears on Sky above the Sky Sports 2 HD logo.

How many Virgin customers subscribe to SKY Sports? I'm sure a couple of years ago Virgin publish a figure. If anyone has any ideas, or a link to figures, I'd be very grateful.

I cancelled my subscription to Sky Sports yesterday because of the interference the number gives to my viewing and i'm sure others will follow if this is not rectified swiftly.

At least in a week or so's time i'll have Sky installed and will be able to watch Sky Sports without any interference.

Doesn't Sky has the number too?

Yes they do but they have their number above the Sky Sports logo and it's of similar font and brightness as the logo itself so you don't notice it much (if at all really)

I thought it was the number of times that Siralex pointed at his watch whilst United were losing. I was going to shout "Twist". Mysteriously, once United went in front, his watch seemed to be OK again...
