I've seen the same thing on a number of channels. The yellow button
works perfectly well for me to remove the overlay from recording
playback. It doesn't show when I play back via other tools, so I'm not
sure where it's actually embedded - the only streams showing are
audio/video/subtitle and it's not dependent on subtitles being enabled
so presumably isn't in that stream.

You might find this setting sorts your problem.
