Interesting. I wonder if that "bug" is being inserted by the DirecTV/Dish IntelliStars or is a part of the satellite LF itself?

Wait, you're looking for your tuner? What did you use to get that image then?

It appears right when the LDL appears, so it's the satellite intellistar that displays that ad.

Is this a sign for major things to come to the satellite feed?

Doubt it. It just changed three months ago. I like the idea of the LOT8's logo. They should put it on the local Star too.

Err, thats inserted by the same system that adds the little advertisements in the corner during the LOT8's. I assume they just have it there as a place holder.

Look up some videos with sponsorship logos, you'll notice they appear at the same time, or start to "animate" at the same time.

Yes - but the blank satellite feed has the sponsorship placement too ;)
