    Direct Tv question. OK so I go to my sisters guest bedroom and turn on her tv and there is a big black rectangaleon the bottom of the screen. Well my nephew got a hold of the tv remote anbd they have no idea what he pushed. So can so one help me get this black mark off the tv? Or has this happen to any one before?

    Oh. Then I'm out of ideas.
    Maybe it has something to do with the tv itself and not the direct tv?

    No. I dont think it has anything to do with the TV they dont use the tv remote because the Direct Tv remote does everything

    If you have played with the menu button on the tv and you guys are SURE it's not the tv. Call DTV and have them walk you through it. Good luck.

    OF COURSE, be ready for them to presume the problem is with the TV

    Yeah but depending on the TV the directv remote can do almost everything for the tv too. Including the 'menu' button.

    ya know, this was probably some type of closed captioning mode within the TV set. Even if he couldn't get a hold of the remote, could he have gotten to the front panel of the tv set with his hands?

    Ding, ding, ding. I think we have a winner. sounds like the closed captioning was accessed from the remote or the TV.
