Status message randomly appears on screen with Panasonic DMR-EH50

Does anybody know why it does this? I'll just be watching TV, nowhere near the remote control, and all of a sudden the black box in the upper right hand corner will appear with the name and number of the channel I'm watching.

Sometimes it happens once a day, sometimes it happens every five minutes or so! That's when it gets annoying...

I don't want to turn off the messages completely because then they don't show up at all when I'm surfing channels, but once I pick a channel I don't need to see it anymore!

Thanks for your help!

I'm betting the TV Guide is kicking on and updating.... Last night my wife called me at work and said the remote was changing channels by itself, when I told her to take the remotes out of the room and it still did it I knew what it was.. Just had her move the IR Blaster away from the cable box and it stopped..

Hi! Thanks so much for responding. The thing is, though, that I don't have a cable box, and therefore am not using the IR Blaster. The Guide seems to work fine without it, except for this one little glitch. Any other ideas?

Thanks again!

The batteries in your remote are weak.

Go to setup screen and disable "status messages" option

Thanks for the responses, guys. Unfortunately fx, I replaced the batteries and it's still doing it.

plinko, as I said in my first post, I'd rather not do that because then they don't show up at all, even when I'm surfing.

I think I'm going to have to call the maintenance number in the instruction manual. Thanks anyway!
