Card S/N Appearing during Footie Matches

[DrProzac]

Is this a regualar thing?

Or do they only do this when at the start of the season?

I thought they had stopped this now?
I'm surprised how many time it turn up during a game!

 

[rolfw]

No, I think they do it for all of the season for anyone using a Sky Italia box, it's so that any pubs using one can be identified and the card switched off.

 

[DrProzac]

OK Thanks.

Only had it for a few weeks, and only noticed it the last couple of matches.

Seems like it's popping up every 10mins or so!

this is happening with the official receiver ?

how is the card number display in the either corner of the screen as i've not got mine yet and this might bother me.

 

[DrProzac]

Yes official Reciever.

Mine shows up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

To avoid this happening, I've noticed that some are using a Technomate receiver to to watch it on, but the card needs to be popped back into the Sky Italia box for it to update.

Really? I couldnt get my $ky Italia card to work in my Technomate (But in receiver terms it pre date's Christ, its a TM 6800HD+ ). Worked in my Spiderbox 7000HD no probs & I didnt have to worry about the text generator from the official Samsung I have.

What's happening with your card mate? The U.K. dealer still messing about?

 

[fergyc]

I heard if you pause it for 5 seconds and then play it then the number doesn't show. Not sure if that's true

yeah got messed about for 2 weeks but have ordered from Italy now, said be delivered this week probably friday.

how long is the card number displayed for ?

 

[Ghostleader]

15 mins or so.

 

[DrProzac]

Yes about 15mins at a time sound right, then off for 15 and on again.

Not a big problem really.

Yes, seen it working in working in a couple of places, think it was a TM5XXX series, 5400 I suspect the last time, didn't pay too much attention, just shoved the card into it.

I wonder if the number will appear in the big game today as I want to see what appears on the screen out of interest.

have the number appeared on all channels including the calcio ones ?

 

[DrProzac]

They were appearing last night when I watched the re-runs of the Fulham Man City game on SS3.

So it looks like it's on the Prem Matches.
So I would have thought you would have seen them by now?

 

[wod]

There wasn't any on saturday on the arsenal or wolves - qpr match but I did tune into sky calcio to compare the picture quality with sky sports uk and saw the number in the bottom left corner of the screen.

I wanted to see it to see if it would bother me during a live game.

 

[wod]

the card number is appearing again on todays game qpr - united and i presume the others to be shown later.

so people with pubs beware, about time the fa had a rethink on the live tv games situation.
