What is this strange black box that pops up for a few seconds and disappears. I have seen it on channel 112 and 111..

We have recently been having some type of display showing up on random channels on Dish. All accessibility controls are off.

It is either alien trying to communicate with us in first contact or a blind person communicating in Braille. Either way it is annoying.

If not that, it is a secret message that when decoded says check red light for further information!

From Braille it says (for)uuuuo(gh)(ed)(gh)h(gh)uuho(gh)(ed)(ed)u(for).
Just sayin'.

That’s funny, I just did the translation as well. Nonsensical…

I watched this series on METV a few years back for the first time.

This gets weirder and weirder. From this and the other thread we've learned:
- It's not isolated to just one provider or channel
- If you record the program, it's not there on playback, meaning it's independent of the video stream somehow

Do these receivers or possibly the TV itself have some kind of function in them that would receive text from somewhere and display it on the screen? Maybe something like an emergency broadcast or advertising platform in the TV that's malfunctioning?

I don't think it's the TV.

It’s an alien society saying hello to us.

I still think low fuel level from one of the birds. Or maybe, it's 129 looking for Charlie!!
