Aside from ITV1, Ch4 and BBC 1&2, are there any other channels (in the world, even) that do not have DOGs?

I think that's it. Not entirely sure about ITV but I think I read that they added one during the recent rebranding. It may be worth noting that ITV HD loses its DOG usually during sports, because the ITV logo features on the scoreboard anyway.
None of the Sky Movies branded channels have DOGs. (They do add one when doing their Oscar coverage though)
Many of Sky's other channels have a DOG for just a few seconds at the start of the programme and after ad breaks before it fades away. (excluding News, Pick TV, Sports and +1 channels)
Sky aren't perfect when it comes to DOGs, but they have more respect for the viewer than most.
Freeview and Freesat - Press the BACK or GREEN buttons
Virgin Media - Press the BLUE button
Sky - Press the BACK UP button
There's lots of good stuff on Red Button generally. I'd rather have the choice of Red Button than EastEnders fans complaining their omnibus was being swapped around the schedule for Track and Field.
BBC Two BBC Two HD does have a DOG on Learning Zone.
you do realise if you press back up or back or something like that the red button caption should disappear, but you are right the BBC shouldn't do sports red button captions in other non sport programs, its not fair to people who dont want sport and just want those other programs.
lol you beat be to it about removing the red button caption! You also know more too! I didnt know the freeview/freesat or virgin options! Do you know the BT options?
They show a DOG for about 10 seconds at the start of the programme and after ad breaks, as mentioned more than once just up the page.
Don't know why the beeb think it needs to be on permenantly until the user has to disable it.
