What is odd is that on 544x720 sub-SD (the only resolution that the channel is
broadcast on), it's so low-resolution that a bar code reader hasn't a hope of resolving the necessary detail

I did try, but no chance, and it's not present on the web stream.

Yes I later found the web stream on their web site
and although that is a higher resolution where the
code might have been readable, as you say it's not
present - probably because there's a big panel
"item now being sold" alongside the video screen ;-)
I bet the *intention* was to display a
scanner-legible bar-code that viewers could scan
with the camera and a bar-code app on their phone
- but it has been knackered by the very low
resolution of its terrestrial version. Maybe it
would have been borderline-legible at 720x576, but
at 544, there's no hope :-(

I would immediately think stationary one-line timecode of some format. Not possible?
