Hmmm, if you're using an antenna then go into the menu on the TV and hit the Scan for channels button. If it's a Cable box then make sure it is connected correctly and on the right input.
Hook a DVD to one of the rear sets of audio/video jacks--go to that input and verify it works.
If so, hook the direct TV to another rear input and select that---if no picture that way---the box may be the issue or wrong hookup--composite to composite or component to component (most likely).
If the set works with DVD and not DIRECT TV it is not smart enough to know what is hooked to it.
In that case a setting or the connection out from the box is the problem---check on screen menu for the box in setup.
Box may need to be rebooted with it connected to set or wrong hookup of cables.
i have been playing music videos. i use the fn f4 button to switch the screen. so when i switch i can see the videos on my laptop and on my plazma both. but after awhile i lose the signal and the video only appears on my laptop only. when i hit the fn f4 i can't get it on both screens. it works fine for a while then on the plazma it goes blank.
I have the same problem. I actually get the initial language choice screen showing up on my X10 and then once I select a language, the PS3 says that it detects an HDMI device and do I want to get sound and video through HDMI. I say yes, and screen goes blank. Saying no, screen also goes blank.... Any solutions to get past this screen?
The proper hookup is antenna or cable into the VCR RF/antenna input, then VCR RF/antenna output to the TV RF input. The hookup you describe means no signal is getting to the VCR.
With some TVs, there can be Video and audio output jacks which can be hooked to the video and audio jacks of the VCR. However this would likely mean you could only record the channel being watched, and, the TV would have to be on.
