The pint glass is added by the box - and can be dismissed by pressing 'back up'. I wasn't aware of the pub specific feed though - though I can believe that it exists.

The last time I played around with a box with a business subscription the pint glass was part of the picture on the pub version of the channels. I'll have to have a play at work one day
I've just given it another go, and was definitely able to make it go away on Sky Sports 1.

They must have changed it in the last few years. I'd have thought it's a better idea to put it on the picture, don't want to send the boys round when it's just some dopey barmaid who's pressed back up too many times!

Has anyone seen the numbers on any other news channels and programmes other than BBC ones?

Here is another BBC example...

Re: The court case about the pub landlady who showed footie matches in her pub with a foreign satellite TV system.

If the European court rules in her favour, as well as that having a dramatic effect on the broadcasting rights of EPL
football and other high profile sports, could it also have a knock on effect on the exclusivity of Sky's rights to non-
sports programming, such as shows listed as "Exclusive to Sky 1" ... NCIS Los Angeles for example ?

dunno about Sky sports but, for the ESPN Premiership Pubs and Clubs feed, the bug is burnt into the video signal before uplink - it is part of the picture

The pint glass is added by the box, although not sure of the point of allowing 'Back Up' to clear it - I'd have thought they'd disable that in the software! Unless it persistently returns.
