First, make sure your TV is on the correct input, which could be one of the following: HDMI, Component, Composite, S-Video or Coax, depending on the type of TV you have. Newer TV’s usually use HDMI or Component inputs. TV’s older than nine years will most likely use Coax.
To change inputs: On your remote, press the TV button located on the top left, and then press the input button located on the bottom left. Keep pressing the input button until the picture appears and then press the STB button.  (Or you can also change the input by using the original remote that came with your TV.) If that does not work, you will want to reboot your settop box by unplugging it from the electrical source, wait two minutes, and then plug it back in. If neither of these steps resolve the issue, check your other TV’s to see if that particular channel or all channels are experiencing the same problem. If the problem is occurring on just that channel on all of your TV’s, that particular channel may be experiencing difficulties. If the problem is occurring on all channels on all TV’s, then Santel may be experiencing difficulty, but it’s best to contact our office at 611 or 796-4411 to verify that the problem is system-wide and not unique to your location.

To turn this feature off and on do the following. Hit the STB button to make sure you are in the correct Set Top Box mode.  Then the # key. Which is located to the right of the 0 key.  Hitting this multiple times will cycle through the Closed Captioned mode and allow you to turn it off as well.
