Authorization Has Expired

I have a larger TV in my living room.  I bought a smaller Sanyo TV at Walmart for my study.  The smaller Sanyo TV uses the mirror image from my DirecTV.  Initially, it was working fine; however, in the past 3-4 months, it will not show anything on the screen.  Instead, it gives me the message, "Authorization has expired.  Call Customer Service (722).  RID: 0003 9493 2065.  Card: 0018-1747-8447.  Help!  Mary McCaffrey E-mail [email protected]

Call customer care and voice your concerns.  It sounds like a weak and/or crossed signals.  The mirror image on the smaller tv shows that much.  Give 888-777-2454 a call and set up for a technician to come out.
