Hi
Your TV is set to "Store Demo Mode", this means people can play with them in the shop and it always returns back to a normal picture every hour or so. Here's how to fix it :)
Press Source - select TV.
Press Menu - Select the Setup menu (its the picture of the cog on the left 4th picture down)
Select "Plug and Play"... the default pin is 0 0 0 0
Select your language
Make sure "HOME USE" has a yellow box around it.
Select your country.
Scan in your channels if you need to?
Fixed :)
By the way... I have the same tv ;)

My TV had the same problem and I have managede to get rid of it. The solution is very simple. This displays mean that your TV is in the " Store Demo" mode and any changes you make will last only for 30 minutes and when the TV is turned off the settings will change back to the normal. Whether you TV is in the "Store Demo" mode can be confirmed by pressing the "Info" button on the remote and you will see that "store demo" appears on the screen. To change this mode to the "home mode" you will have to press the "Volume button" on the TV and when the volume sign appears on the screen then you will have to press the "Menu" button on the TV (not on the remote)and hold it down for about 7to 10 seconds. This changes your TV mode from "store demo" mode to the home mode. Confrim whether the store demo mode has been put off by pressing the "Info" button on the remote to see whether the store demo sign appears on the screen. The store demo is set by sales persons in the shops so that any demonstratation/changes that they make while showing to customers will be temporary as the settings revert back to the original.

its very simple... of course if u know what to do. just hold pressing the "HOME" button on the TV and u will will message "Demo off". (it could be either right or left side of the TV... for my Australian model it is on the right side)
for Bravia's.. To turn off the demo mode, press and hold the MENU button on the TV for more than 10 seconds. The message Demo mode: Off will appear on the screen.
Let me know if this helps.
Hi Harry,
From the Picture Menu, the option at the bottom is Trumotion demo.
Highlight this and press enter, turn demo off, press return.
Let me know if this helps and please rate this solution.

It sounds like a text box that isn't receiving any text. If it covers almost the entire screen, then you might have accidentally got the settings into DEMO mode. It could also be a box for closed captioning, but that usually covers just the lower part of the screen. Either way, the solution is to go into the setup menu and restore facotry presets.
to turn off the demo mode on model 32af42 toshiba tv you can either press recall,exit or power buttons / if this fails enter the menu screen go to the setup menu highlight demo select stop .
