Watching football through my TIVO Box now. there is a number shown in the bottom left hand corner of the TV Screen, the number is 1138828166. This number comes and goes on the screen, it has been on and gone off on 3 different occasions during this game, Any one else got it and what is it?

ive got the same although a differant number,a mate told me its some kind of verification check that virgin are doing to make sure your not watching a pirated channel
I concur. I only google this subject, and found this thread because it was bothering me. We already lose the top right and left hand corners during football, we don't need the bottom screwing up as well.
The same thing happens on Sky the number appears underneath the Sky Sports logo in the top corner. Although I seem to remember it stays there much longer than 5 minutes. I've often wondered what it is.
