Well I assume it's copyright branding to deter piracy.

To be fair the BBC HD and BBC1 HD logos are among the most
unobtrusive.

I wish a lot of others would be similarly subtle.

I don't know why so many people assume this. These semi-transparent
DOGs can be removed in software, so they're no trouble to "pirates".
Also, BBC Three has an obvious DOG, BBC One doesn't - but I know which
channel carries higher value programming!
If someone posts The Antiques Roadshow in HD to YouTube, it doesn't
need a DOG to show where it came from.
If someone sells a pirate DVD of Hustle, it doesn't matter where it
came from or whether it has a DOG - the copyright infringement remains
exactly the same.

To be fair the BBC HD and BBC1 HD logos are among the most
unobtrusive.

The BBC shouldn't have any at all, and the other PSB channels should,
at most, be as obvious as the current BBC HD one, but placed bottom
right rather than top left. IMO!

Cheers,
David.

CBBC has an animated DOG and the dreaded, intrusive, Red Spot - by Jupiter!

Only if you are watching on a Freeview or Freesat receiver.

If you were to watch on an FTA satellite receiver there would
be no Red Spot!

You can press green to get rid of the red spot ... until next time.

Yes, I'd forgotten that. Since I managed to get the inbuilt FV tuner working
by feeding it enough, I've not used FTA Satellite except for Film 4 and ITV
4.

Thanks! That Red Spot is worse than most DOGs - it's the DOG's a***hole!

Bearing in mind that Jamie appears to have a personality disorder, and that
his preferred method of communication these days seems to be foul-mouthed
abuse, I suggest that any attempt to engage with him is not likely to be of
any help to him or you. I'd recommend putting him in a killfile.
