Hi all. I've noted that when my TV has been on for hours, I'll
sometimes see the following text on my screen:

<lid://trg>[t:0][e:20041231T235]

I can still clearly see the picture but this script is superimposed
over it. Simply turning either the television or the satellite
receiver off then back on again clears it up and all is fine until the
next time.

Is this a problem with my TV or is it something maybe being caused by
my Dish 501 receiver? I'm using component cables between the TV and
the receiver if it helps any.

Any ideas on how to correct this problem? I'm definitely not a tech,
so if it's a complicated fix, I'll just leave it to a tech to correct
but if it's a simple adjustment I can do on my own, I'd appreciate
your advice. Thanks in advance.

Does it happen without the DISH being turned on?? S/A running with a VCR or
DVD?? Simply disconnecting the DISH from the tv and running the set will
allow you to determine which device is causing the symptom. I'd suspect the
501 personally.

I haven't tried that yet. Perhaps, tonight I'll leave the set tuned
into the locals (analog cable via splitter) to see if it happens
again. Frankly, I'm beginning to suspect the 501 also. It just
happened again and I shut off the receiver for a couple of seconds and
that strange script disappeared from the screen. I think I'm going to
try posting this question to the dbs NG too to see if any of those
guys recognize this problem. Thanks for your response :)

Make sure you have the closed caption decoder in the TV turned off.
They can display some strange things if it's set to "text". If it has
XDS, make sure it's turned off.

Thanks man... did as you suggested - text2 was selected but I just
turned it off. I'll see if it makes a diff :)
