Hello, cleSohra. I hope that you have gotten this resolved, but if not I am happy to help! Were you experiencing any weather before or during this message being on the screen? Have you tried to reset the receiver by unplugging it from the power source for 10 seconds? Please send me an email at [email protected] for further assistance!
