receiver setup

[landon56]

Ok here is the problem. The other morning I turned the tv on and no pic. I had not changed anything. I have a vip222k receiver. The tv1 is in the den and tv2 is in an upstairs bedroom. tv1 is where the receiver is located. I went upstairs to tv2 turned it on and it works fine.
tv1 will not even bring up menu.
My tv at tv1 is a sony 46". It has a input button that I can select tv, hdmi 1, 2, 3 and 4 and other imputs. I can click through each one and all that is on the screen is no signal.
I also have a local antenna attached to the receiver and tried the select tv but after scanning for channels all it gets is one hd channel....Nothing on the rest....no analog stations.
Could this be the receiver or maybe the tv?

Try a BD or DVD player. Sounds like TV.

Could always temp move TV2 to hook up as TV1 to settle it for sure.

Sounds like the cable might have come loose. You could also try a different HDMI input on your TV or/and rebooting the receiver. Unplug it for 10 seconds or so then let it reset. Good luck & welcome aboard!

It was the tv but to be more specific it was hdmi input plug.
I did change hdmi inputs and it came up. What do you think may happen to the bad one? It hadn't been moved or tampered with.

Just for grins, move it back and see if you get a signal now. It may have been a handshake issue...

Glad you got it working. That HDMI port on the TV could have went bad--it happens. Or like Bobby said, could be a "handshake" issue although if it worked on a different port I kinda doubt it.

Wouldn't be the first time it was a

problem rather then something wrong with the HDMI input.

I did plug it back into the original plug and it is working fine. Must have been a dirty "hand", ha.

I thought that might be the case.....
