Terminal Window on DTV

[Robert Peirce]

For some reason, my DTV SD DVR, in one location, will open a terminal
window when viewing the weather channel. In another location this never
happens. This is bizarre, because how would DTV know I had moved the
unit? I have two other DVRs, a DTV HD and a Tivo SD. Neither has ever
done this.

Could it have anything to do with the particular cables running to the
unit or the output from the splitter?

Is the shiny side out on your tin foil hat?

If it is, the likely problem is you have the closed caption turned on the tv
where you are seeing this "terminal window".

Everyone knows DTV quit using the gps locators in favor of the built-in
webcams on any of their hardware that has an ethernet port.

Nope. I know the difference. This is an operating system window. I
don't think it should ever appear but it does and only on the Weather
channel.
