This documentary on the story of the UFC is very well done.

It dos'nt look as though the second semi-final of the lady's tennis is going to be on live on BT Sport, with the live UFC on BT Sport 1 and live cricket on BT Sport 2 and live baseball on ESPN, that's the problem when you have the rights to a lot of sport events and no red button interactive services at present or no extra streams at the moment on-line.

I think there is an argument for a BT sport 3 channel.

It could be a news channel and show live scores etc when not in use like Soccer Saturday, but could then be used for live events when needed.

Interesting.

The DOG is now in the Top Right Corner. for the CPL on BTS2.

Makes sense though because it has covered the host graphics.

I wish they would put it there all the time.
Got in the way for the Gerrard testimonial, constantly grabbing my attention and bugged the hell out of me...

I didn't mind it to be honest.

I do like the style of it and the scorebar.

It has been silly to have it bottom left when the host graphics are bottom left. Just looked amateurish,

At least we know they are open to moving it.

But they're trying to change what has been a standard for so long across the globe and its not gonna work.
I know they've had a shitload of complaints about it according to a source at BT.
If it was transparent, it might be something folks could get used to, but i being a solid color, its almost impossible.
You'd expect better from BT

ESPN has their dog in the bottom left don't they?

Only when a top-of-screen position is not available, like has been the case for the X-Games.

I'm trying to watch on the web player. No box loads up for the live stream. I've installed Silverlight, turned of ad blockers and still nothing, it won't let me watch online at all. What the hell?

Yeh it had been getting in the way of the scoreboard. Likely to be just for this coverage though for now, hopefully they move it in the future

Only because its what you are used to.

If everyone had it at the bottom till now you would think differently.

I don't mind what corner it's in... The only thing I wish they would do is make it transparent. Not a fan of big, bold, full colour logos on screen, especially for live sport.

One other thing to add - I really like BT's general on-screen graphics. They look really nice. Also like such simple things as the small picture-in-picture box labelled 'live' when they're showing a replay. Could just mean I'm easily pleased though

I honestly don't understand the problem with the positioning of the scoreclock/bt sport logo. Maybe that is because I've been watching live U.S sports for years and have become accustomed to all sorts of adverts and stats flying across the screen every five minutes!

I am not saying it is any better or any worse than having it at the top of the screen, Just my personal opinion is it spoils no element of my viewing whatsoever.

Same here. It looks fine on the football and overall the graphics are great too. Believe you me i hate dogs if they get in the way of the game but everyone i have spoken to has said they like them so in my opinion well done BT. But i guess its down to own tastes really.

SNAP i agree 100% the logos are fantastic.. its putting sky down a peg + the presenters are terrific.. and claire ( the horse racing lady) as her own chatshow this week

One minor issue with the score BUG in the bottom left - it is where the Sky+ animated circle, arrow and time on a darker background go - making it more difficult to navigate to a set time, as it can hardly be seen when fast forwarding, rewinding, etc.

Jake Humphrey is currently one of the best television presenters in the UK, if not in Europe. How BT have managed to secure such talent im unsure but it is a huge coup.
