The dogs are only placed at the top for UEFA competitions, starting with the Champions League this week and the Europa League once the competition starts proper.

Dogs in the bottom corner seem to still BT's choice going forward for other competitions where their feed doesn't block the bottom corner.

Showing it at the bottom is madness, it's always covering the playing surface and this in turn blocks out some of the play, when it's at the top it's nearly always in the crowd and therefore none of the play is blocked.

exactly. but its probably some late 20s executive working for BT whos on 200k a year and thinks putting the score board at the bottom is "quirky and revolutionary" and will make them stand out against sky sports.

Hiring and keeping the incompetent Michael owen is doing that for them alone.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news

I don't know why they even need the DOGs in the first place. Most people with a brain know which TV channel they have tuned into, and if they've forgotten just need to press the 'info' button.

Even if they have concluded there is a need for them, I don't know why they have to be so prominent! Why can't they be greyed out so that they are less obtrusive?

Very annoying.

They are trying to create a branding so that you remember which station you watched.

Yes, we know that, and look what adverse publicity BT have had over their branding! A greyed out DOG should overcome most objections.

God I hope that happens. After the La Liga farce, I won't hold my breath until it is fully confirmed though.

Thanks for the link too.
