No signal on your TV when connected to a Satellite box?

by Michael Hickey

A "No Signal", "No Source", or "No Input" message will appear on your TV screen if the TV is not receiving a signal from your TV box. This is often a result of either the TV box being powered off, not being properly connected to the TV, or the TV being set to the wrong input.


Here’s a simple step-by-step explanation you can give to a customer to help them access the HDMI source input on their TV:

 

1. Turn on the TV and Satellite Box

Ensure both the TV and the satellite box are powered on.

2. Locate the TV Remote Control

Use the remote that came with the TV, not the satellite box remote.

3. Find the ‘Source’ or ‘Input’ Button

Look for a button labeled “Source”, “Input”, or sometimes a symbol like a square with an arrow pointing into it. This button switches the TV between different input modes.

4. Press the ‘Source/Input’ Button

• When you press the button, a list of input options should appear on the screen.

• Common options include HDMI1, HDMI2, AV, TV, etc.

5. Select the Correct HDMI Input

• Identify which HDMI port the satellite box is plugged into on the back of the TV (e.g., HDMI1 or HDMI2).

• Use the remote’s arrow keys or the ‘Source’ button to highlight and select the matching HDMI input.

6. Confirm the Connection

• Once selected, the TV screen should display the satellite box interface.

• If the screen remains blank, ensure the satellite box is turned on and the HDMI cable is securely connected to both devices.

 

Feel free to modify this based on the brand or type of TV your customers use!
