Question:

What does the number two appearing on my TV's screen mean and how can I fix it?

Answer:

The appearance of a number two in the top right corner of your TV's screen is actually a signal from your cable set top box, not an issue with your TV. This can happen even when the set top box is turned off. Some known cable boxes that may cause this issue include Scientific Atlantic 4250HDC, Scientific Atlantic 8300HDC, and Scientific Atlantic 8300HDC DVR. To resolve this, try unplugging the cable box for 15 minutes and then plugging it back in. If the issue persists, contact your cable service provider for further assistance.
