I've seen BBC content regurgitated by different accounts on multiple social media sites, with mostly positive feedback from the respective audiences.

With all the bad press the BBC has received and the increasing feeling about its dwindling importance/necessity, I can't see the harm of subtly reminding people that the content they are enjoying is from the BBC -- even if it's not via iPlayer and the licence.

I firmly believe that this country and indeed the World would be poorer without the BBC, and the more people that see its value and take pride in it - even within the BBC itself - the better.

(I feel I could have worded this more eloquently; I hope what I'm trying to say comes across)

Yes, I do understand your point - and why the BBC feel the need to do it.

But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s annoying and distracting to have a burn-in DOG. Any DOG is an annoyance, but to have it burnt in makes it more distracting as it flickers all the time as things move on screen. That’s why I was suggesting an “overlay” DOG, as ITV do, as a compromise. I accept that they may have decided that leaves ripping the underlying video file too much of a risk though.

This is probably all a very niche view, as most people are not bothered by DOGs at all and barely seem to even realise they exist. That probably shows that they “work”, as they are almost subliminal messaging and not a major issue. So I understand that I am in a minority.

It just seems a shame to slap logos on otherwise perfectly-immersive content.

The new logo is being added when they upgrade the master file on the server to 1080p/50fps version. Quite often the older versions were 720/540.

That’s great news that they are bothering to reupload content in 1080p/50fps!

The 720p maximum resolution was always quite noticeable to me, as it just doesn’t look as good as 1080p derived content.
