i see feed names quite often referred to as "dirty path 1", or "clean path 2" - what does this mean?
 
Dirty = with on-screen graphics etc
Clean = no graphics, so broadcasters can add their own or be used in packages (highlights, promos) where graphics aren't desirable

Edit: too slow :-doh
 
presume its only a rough indicator, as both clean and dirty feeds yesterday neither had on screen gfx - unless it changes during the show at certain points (i was just zapping)
