Hi all,
I know this has been mentioned other places but I don’t think I’ve actually seen a response, or solution to removing it… the permanent white watermark on ALL Sky or Now TV channels when watching on Apple TV.
Aside from screen burn in, it’s become a bone of contention in my house and doesn’t seem to have any function than to annoy my other half.
Anyone have any insight into why us EE Apple TV converts have been lumbered with it, or when it’ll be disappearing?
It’s taken the shine off the switch, to be honest!
I’ve not seen it on other platforms, but will take your word for it.
Appreciate it’s been mandated by Sky but it’s annoying as hell on darker content. Live sport is one thing, but on channels that show programmes you want to enjoy at their best, when you’ve paid extra for their ‘Boost’, just feels poor.
Sky’s own DOGs are dynamic, fading out after 10 seconds, with a clear purpose of identifying the channel - a permanent solid white dice, with no apparent relevance to the channel or content just isn’t the same.
There must be other ways that Sky can be protecting their content, hopefully this is something that EE/Now TV will work with them on in the future.
Perhaps you could pass on a suggestion? If it has to be there, could it be a more relevant image, like a logo? It’d still keep its purpose but look more the ‘pint glass’ equivalent and DOGs we’re used to… less like a technical glitch!
Do you know if this will mean the icon will come off non-Sky channels like MTV, Gold and Comedy Central completely too?
