TV is Displaying a Black Box (With or Without Text)
Why is my TV displaying a black box (with or without text)? This is caused by the Closed Captioning (CC)
system being activated either through your TV or the set-top box. To disable this feature, please review the following steps:
-
On your TV, turn off CC
- Note: you may need to use the remote or refer to the manual that came with your TV
-
On your set-top box, check to make sure that the CC is OFF by accessing the set-top box's User Settings Menu
- Press CABLE then POWER on your remote to turn the set-top box OFF
- Press the MENU or SETTINGS button on your remote to access the User Settings Menu
- Make sure CLOSED CAPTION is set to DISABLED
- Press CABLE then POWER on your remote to turn the set-top box ON
The issue should now be resolved. If not, contact us. We're here to help!
