Periodically the following EC/HDMI1 underneath the word WIDE is shown.
I understand this nuisance can be removed using the remote.
Can anyone help me with this?

Which makes of TV set is it? (I'll take a guess at Panasonic!)

What (other than an aerial) have you got feeding a signal to it? (e.g. a Sky box, a DVD recorder or whatever)? If you've only got one device (or none at all), try disabling the automatic switching between devices. (That's what 'EC' means on a Panasonic set; it stands for 'External Control'). You'll need to hunt for it within the menu settings or, if you tell us the exact make & model, we might be able to find the instructions for you.

Thank you for your reply.Details as follows :-
Panasonic,Vista with Sky HD Box attached.This problem was solved previously by simultaneously pressing 3 buttons on the remote.I think they were TV,OFF and another I can't remember. Is this of any assistance to you?

I assume that you mean 'Viera', rather than 'Vista', which is the name given to a whole range of sets made by Panasonic. It might help to know the exact model number. (It will something like TX-50AS520B and should be on the back of the set).

I'm sorry,the make is Viera.At the age of 85 I am unable to access the serial Number.Lifting the TV is beyond my ability.In the meantime I appreciate your advice.

I've tried looking at the manual for a random Viera set but, regrettably, I'm still none the wiser.

I suggest phoning Panasonic's Customer Communications Centre tomorrow (between 9am and 5pm) on 0844 844 3899. They will (hopefully) be able to help.

Good luck; sorry that I couldn't be more of assistance!

Is it on the same sky channel or is it random?

I get that on mine occasionally - its the tv channel that does it - the tv is picking up a switching signal from the channel.

Can't remember which channel does it - it might be one of the Discovery ones.
