BBC should move their DOG back the right for this, or bottom of screen like US
Or just remove the sport and make it 75% of the current size as in my mockup here, I think having the 'sport' on it is completely unnecessary when the channels are actually called BBC Olympics, not BBC Sport Olympics.
they are completely stupid size.
I think they are that size to stop ppl streaming them around the world?
but then I'd rather have your size in each corner of the screen then one HUGE one!

Presumably, it is BBC Sport because that is the BBC division that is producing them?
That would also make sense if one of the purposes of the DOG is to satisfy IOC rules regarding Olympic broadcast material being copied/syndicated

It could be an IOC condition imposed upon the BBC of course (which might be a reasonable assumption given the tight rules about Olympic branding that they have in place).

I think it's unneccesary and just makes the DOG too big, if they are going to have a DOG, the channels are called BBC Olympics so BBC + the Olympic rings as a DOG is fine.

Kinda illogical though that in order to spoil the copied/syndicated content by obscuring part of it with a massive DOG, they spoil the legal content with a massive DOG...
None of my channel titles show HD, only the programme name in the dead time.
Are you saying your actual channel names are BBC Olympic (not s) 1-24 HD?
I have not HD.
I did read your post, the IOC would not insist SPORT is included after BBC, it is just unnecessary and imo it looks better without it.
You don't know the details of the IOC requirements and how those requirements might be translated into practice.
I don't either, but my supposition is still quite possible as the BBC Sport group will have produced it, and we know from current experience that the IOC have imposed very strict rules over what can be used and how it is portrayed when anything to do with the Olympics brand (or Olympic sponsors) is used. And as it seems commonplace for other internet businesses to try to rip off other content and pass it off as their own, or simply upload it to certain sites, it is quite understandable if the IOC have some restrictive rules in place. I don't know, it is simply a supposition.
I'll make it clear that at no time do I support DOGs or any other on-screen clutter anywhere, but there are sometimes reasons for why such things are as they are.

Yes on the Echostar & I presume other Freesat HD boxes the channels are renamed, and the only channels listed on the guide & via the red button are the HD versions even though they don't say HD in the channel name.
I severely doubt that any guidelines require BBC to use Sport in the DOG.
They might not, but there might be other requirements pertaining to any agreement that you and I are not aware of.
And I will say again, no-one here is party to any part of any agreement between the IOC, the host broadcaster or the BBC.
So further speculation is rather pointless as far as I am concerned (in other words, I see no reason for me to continue with this, before anyone accuses me of dictating what can and cannot be discussed)
If anyone is that concerned as to why the DOG is BBC Sport, or why the normal BBC DOG is not shown on these streams, then contact the people who will know - the BBC. They will be able to give a definitive answer.
Well in the case of the football, yes and no. They are producing the football coverage on behalf of OBS, along with the tennis, boxing and rowing lake events.

:rolleyes: I know why they used 'Sport' in the DOG, I am just saying I don't think it is necessary as the channels are simply called BBC Olympics, and they should try and keep screen clutter to a minimum. Also, with just BBC and the rings it would enable them to stick the DOG on the left without overlapping the scorecard which I think would actually be better than moving it to the right as it keeps all the clutter in one place.

Everything is too HUGE, logo and graphics.
BTW, any thoughts on the how to check if I am receiving the HD stream?
Click info button, if the channel title is HD, it should be HD.

when the football is not on, say on channel 7, then the programme name is BBC Olympics 7 HD.
I think your DOG is too small, that is why I say use yours 4 times.
Not even a HD DOG for the GB footie match today, on BBC1 HD.
At least not in the first or last 30 minutes, which is all I watched.
I made it smaller so it could fit to the left of the scorecard, it's possible it might fit just taking the sport out without reducing the size:).

On Sky, mid-Monday morning I think.

It seems silly to have the Score/Time OSG the same side as the DOG. Surely they must have known this would happen?

ITV4 do it all the time depending which sport they are carrying.
The BBC do it all the time as well so someone has just forgot.
