Hi @TJ+54 

 

Can't see your images and won't be able too untill approved by a moderator. However if you mean on Sky sports and TNT sports. They are ways for the stream / broadcast source to be identified. It's mainly used to prevent commercial premises using a non commercial sub or for authorities to identify the source being used on illegal services.

@TJ+54  Do yoy have subtitles enabled?  As the image shows it as a prompt for subtitle text, normally appears when none are present on a current ad for example.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.
