This is a really difficult problem to answer correctly on the first try but here we go. Some tvs will not recognize the introduction of a new component without unplugging the tv for about 30 seconds with the component connected and powering the tv back on. The issue I believe Dish was trying to convey was to make sure the port you plug the receiver into is turned on in the tv menu. Since the dvd works in any of them this seems to be the case. I f you have further difficulties you should contact the tv manufacturer for assistance as they are more familiar with teaching the tv to communicate with the receiver than Dish personell will be in most cases.

i am starting to get NO SIGNAL blue screens using HDMI with the VIP211 . sometimes the green light will flicker on / off real fast , then jsut die off , sometimes it will turn on , and actually acquire sat signal , then bam 5 min later, off to blue screen again . I gave it a good hard tap on top of the unit and it turned back on and has been working since, think i just need to get em to bring me a new one ? somethin must be loose in there...... I've tried running the power from it straight to outlet , ran through power surge protector , and through extension cord , all 3 gave me same results. Also it seems alot of channels the lyp sync is way off . this vip211 sucks or just dish network sucks with HDMI hdtv , what do you think ,

I recently got dish network. The remote for my primary tv goes in an out at times. I've replaced batteries, tried reprogramming it and everything. It will ALWAYS do the volume and power for the television but will not always control the receiver. I have noticed when I put it right beside the receiver it works. They said that plasma tv's cause the remote to act funny, but i have a Philips LCD. I do not have the 211 i have the VIP 222k receiver, but i did not see that option. Thanks for any and all help
