Unwanted adds appearing on TV screen

[john martin]

I have Freeview and Terrestial channels. Today series of add captions appear either on the left of the screen or along the bottom. They take up a lot of screen. Examples are just words like SERIES 5, Energy-efficient, FULL HD 1080P and HYPER PARK. Does anyone know what they are, where they come from and importantly how do I get rid of them??

Looks like the settings used on the tv when advertising it in the shop ... i.e. the selling points of the tv.

You must have inadvertently switched this on.

Thanks PaddyBloogit, that seems to be what it is but I still haven't a clue how to get rid of them. I suppose if i somehow switched them on there should be a way to switch them off.
