This watermark serves as a visual cue to differentiate between commercial and residential broadcasts.
When you see the two pint glasses logo, it signifies that the broadcast is part of a commercial subscription, intended for public viewing in establishments such as pubs. The intention behind this differentiation is to ensure that businesses pay the appropriate fees for public broadcasting rights. If this logo appears on a residential TV, it could indicate unauthorised use of a pub's subscription.
