Hello! My name is Becki, with DISH Network. To fix this, the main thing that you would want to know is what type of cable you have going from the TV to the receiver. If you have RCA (Re,White, Yellow cables,) then you want to be on an input, usually TV 1 or 2.  If you have an HDMI cable, you will want to be on an HDMI input, usually HDMI 1 or 2. You could also be using a coax cable (single round cable) then you want the TV to be on channel 3 or 4. If you continue to have problems with this, and can't get the picture back, you can email me at [email protected], and we can go from there!
