Don't know if this is true but back in 2008 when we were doing some system for DSTV they were discussing broadcast rights for sports events that they would purchase and re-broadcast to their subscribers, then cover the costs from the regular subscription fees. They wanted to find a way where they would know if their broadcast was being re-broadcast by other unauthorized TV channels (both love and recorded) and they came up with the idea of plastering some letters on the screen for some period of time so that their people would know and report illegal recordings and broadcasts of these events. Clearly they'd have to have their people watching lots of TV and reporting if they saw the letters on non DSTV and non authorized channels. But apparently it was a requirement of the sellers: They wanted a way to prevent, or at least report illegal recordings and re-broadcasts, they seemed to be happy with the idea so they did it just to make the sellers happy.

Well I am not a DSTV expert (anyway I left DSVT) but I can guarantee you that there is a number popping up for few seconds at important sport live event like League 1 games or UEFA games... My assumption is that it is a tracking number ? I may be wrong; but that's why they cut your free glitch just after/while you were watching live sport.

It was a technical glitch !! And this is a confirmation that funny numbers popping up on screen when you watching football is a tracking number !
What? I thought this was some sort of virus inherent only in Samsung TVs? :-)
