Virgin Media logo on Sky Sports

Hey VM

Any chance you can move the location of the logo on Sky Sports please, specifically for the darts as its impeding the score making it hard to read.

Thanks

    The channel dogs (logos) are placed there by the broadcaster, in this case Sky, and can't be moved/removed by VM.

    It's the same with the nine digit number that sometimes appears in the corner of the screen during live football broadcasts or sporting events. This is generated automatically as part of the security arrangements by the channel broadcaster(s) to assist in anti-piracy measures, and to ensure that pubs aren't broadcasting domestic sporting channels.

    Cheers but i'd assume a least a request can be put in from VM?

    The onscreen "Sky Sports" logo, known as a DOG, is part of the broadcast picture which is controlled by the broadcaster & over which VM have no control.

    I don't see the DOG in the top-right corner of the screen interfering with the score graphics in the bottom-right. Both Sky & TNT tend to move their DOGs into a different corner when the host-broadcast graphics would otherwise interfere.

    Which graphic are you having issues with?

    Thanks but I referencing the virgin media logo on Sky Sports. Its located in the bottom right hand corner which obstructs the darts score. 

    Thanks
