It's on an information box on my TV and it won't go away. It only appears on the cable channels. I actually just discovered that I had cable Embarassed
But now this stupid info box won't go away!! I tried to translate it online but I just got a really garbled translation.

You don't have cable.
You're watching Sky Perfect e2, which they're offering free for a limited time. To apply, call that number.

What I really want to know:

If you didn't understand the kanji appearing on your TV screen, how the hell did you manage to transcribe it on your PC?

Maybe the poster knows Chinese. With the Chinese character equivalent, it's easy to find the kanji. Or perhaps the poster wrote the characters into a electronic/on-line dictionary.

Or, it's a new enough model TV and they could simply plug a computer in and cut and paste from the screen? The possibilities, they're endless! Smile
