I just renewed my subscription after a long time and now on lots of UK channels, all with the G logo, there’s a clock counting HH:MM:SS and it’s so irritating. Why on earth would anyone want that? It’s not on my end, because it’s not on all channels and it also appears minimised in the view.
Probably on the hardware of whatever is being used to capture the stream, probably nothing the provider can do to address it, unless it's their own channel source.
