They may as well chuck the time and date in there as well!

ABC have given up on watermarking ABC HD during Robin Hood tonight after this watermark appeared and was flashing on and off:

It is now different, and in the exact spot as the ABC1 one, though seems brighter, possibly because of the yellow.

i've never really had issue with the new ABC1 & 2 watermarks although I have noticed they are not as bright as they were when first launched a few weeks back

..wonder if that means a total reversion or just putting a 1 or 2 next to the ()()().

I hope so, I'm not to keen on the current ABC watermarks.

I noticed that channel 2 moved the watermark for netball to the original squiggle at the top right to save covering the scoreboard this week. Strangely enough they didn't appear to have anything during the bowls.

Back to why I came here - I noticed that Seven moved their watermark further to the right a while back and made it smaller but during scrubs, it still hits the image. It would be ideal if they could move it just that tiny amount further right to get it completely into the "black zone" *insert twilight zone theme*

Movement (scale comparison)

Scrubs still showing on the image slightly

Other than that, I am finding myself watching Seven and Ten HD more than I do the regular channels. I still don't agree with taking off HD shows but it is good to have something a bit different each night.

The last thing we also need is for Nine to go back to as they were and quit placing the 9HD horrormark in the middle of the screen. All other networks are moving to 16:9 graphics, why does Nine have to be the only one going backwards?

Edit: Speaking of 16:9 watermarks, does anyone else have their TV overscan the CBS watermark off the screen? It looks awful on my TV - they moved it too far to the right IMO. I noticed that a few people at the AVS Forums also felt that way.

What was with the rather large and distorted SBS watermark during the athletics?

Promo watermarks are all the range in the US on OTA networks, the only two that doesn't do it is FOX* and CBS

*though they have big IPPs:

They better not do that here!

Although, what does 'viewer discretion advised' mean? (The last pic)

Viewer Discretion advised means it may contain material that could be considered offensive... i'm guessing in this case violence, and it's at the discretion of the viewer whether or not they watch it or whether it's suitable for their family (ie: little children)
