Why is Channel 2 not showing any programs only a pink screen no picture?
Phylstan02
This is just a guess, so please don't hold me to it.
I've seen similar circumstances like you describe, though honestly never a "pink" screen.
The cause (in the cases I've seen) is the device responsible for generating the Channel 3 output, which has very poor filtering and therefore is inadvertently generating a signal on channel 2.
For example, years ago people found a very easy way to get free premium channels from their cable boxes. They would put their cable company supplied converter on one channel above the premium channel they weren't paying for, but then put their TV one channel lower than the cable box output (channel 3). This would force the converter to decode the premium channel and viola! Free HBO/Cinemax/Showtime...etc.
Modern cable boxes are much more sophisticated than these early versions, and I know of *no* location where this technique works any longer.
So, it's my guess is that what you're seeing on channel 2 is channel3, but the poor filter of the device generating the channel 3 output is showing you the picture you're getting.
Lastly, please be certain that your TV isn't set to show this pink screen when no signal is received (though I NEVER heard of such a thing).
You can test my theory by putting your TV on channel 2, and then change channels with whatever device you normally use (Cable Converter, VCR, DVR, HD Tuner), and see if it changes. If it does, than that answers your question.
Hope I helped somewhat.
