Will,
Sorry to hear your situation.
If you press additional buttons on either your Samsung or Scientific Atlanta remote, which one adds to the 2? I'm guessing without being able to see it that it's a channel indicator. We'll start trying to figure out if the source is either the box or the television.

This is driving me crazy! I just bought a LN46A550 yesterday. So far it has exceeded my expectations. However, I have a "2" displayed in the upper right hand corner that I cannot figure out how to get rid of.
My HDTV cable box is a Scientific Atlanta if that makes a difference.
If anyone has any suggestions to get rid of the channel display I am all eyes!
Thanks
Will
