Black screen on ONE channel?!?

Question

hi guys!

i donno why but there's only one channel where this stupid black screen would appear after few minutes....it almost completely fill the whole screen and there are weird encoding that shows up...

i dont have that for other channels though

Answer 1

This is probably one of two things:

The V-Chip is turned on and the programming has a rating higher than the setting on your set so the black screen is attempting to block the objectionable content.  If so, turn the program ratings off in the menus.

Teletext is a full screen text message.  Since you said "weird encoding" shows up, this may be the real problem.  Teletext is usually on the same menu as closed captioning.  Turn it off.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

turn the close captioning off or go to caption one  you are in a text mode and that will cause a black box
