I was trying to bring in a channel that was blocked and lost my picture, How do I reset the 1-2-3-

It sounds like your TV may be set to a channel that is locked or not available through your satellite subscription, which is why you can hear the sound but not see the picture. Here are some steps you can try to get the picture and sound together for EWTN:

1. Check your satellite subscription: Make sure that your satellite subscription includes EWTN. You can check your subscription package or contact your satellite provider to confirm.
2. Check your TV channel: Make sure that you have selected the correct channel for EWTN on your TV. You can refer to the channel guide that came with your satellite subscription or check online for the correct channel number.
3. Check for parental controls or channel locks: Your TV may have parental controls or channel locks that are preventing you from accessing EWTN. Check your TV settings or parental control settings to make sure that EWTN is not blocked.
4. Check your cable connections: Make sure that your TV is properly connected to your satellite receiver and that the cables are securely plugged in. You can also try unplugging and reconnecting the cables to make sure there is a secure connection.

If you have tried these steps and are still not able to get the picture and sound together for EWTN, you can contact your satellite provider for further assistance.

Do a reset to this TV and check.

You don't need the remote to unlock the TV. Any RCA universal remote will change channels etc if you want a remote.
Now from the manual: simultaneously hold down the menu/OK button and the Volume down button for 3 seconds. This resets the pasword and unlocks the TV. You can then enter the menus as usualI believe to control/clear parental settings etc.

Somehow you have enabled the Closed Captioning mode. Work your way through the menus to turn it off and the problem will be resolved. The channels that come in normally are not transmitting the closed captioning information, thus no CC black box.
