If you the customer are seeing this, it is basically looking for the downstream channel/frequency that has the decryption authorization and guide data on. Customers often see this after a power outage which forces the cable box to look for its need information from the company. This process is usually very quick unless there is additional problems present. Call your service provider if the box stays in hunt mode or try power cycling the box yourself.

I purchased a used General Instrument cft 2200 cable box and when connected to the T.V Your Teminal Has Been Deactivated is displayed. Is there a quick fix for my problem?

Your terminal has been deactivated means that the Jerrold CFT 2200 cable box needs to be re-activated. To re-activate a locked receiver you need to get a service code generator or SCG programmer. The SCG programmer will send activation codes into the General Instrument CFT 2200 cable box and reset the unit back to normal. At that point the Your Terminal Has Been Deactivated message will leave the television screen and you should be able to use the cable box as a tuner or whatever you decide to use it for. Having a SCG Programmer can remove any error code from the General Instrument CFT 2200 cable box.
