I could not make this new TV show anything on Direct TV, except NO SIGNAL. I went back and explained the problem to Best Buy. They said it would cost me $100 if they sent out a Geek techie,...OR I could have another 40 inch Vizio, in the new sealed box.
I connected the new one, with same results! I tried it with my two other Direct TV receivers, with same results. I replaced the co-ax cables, with same results,...NO SIGNAL. I connected, one by one, ALL my other TVs, total of five. They all receive Direct TV just fine.
Is this model Vizio simply not compatible with Direct TV signal?
I am getting confused, why you use co-ax cable connector.
Anyway, I searched online and found this.
Press the input button, keep on holding and then select tv or DTV input.
Reset the tv to factory settings. For that, do System > Reset & Admin > Reset to Factory Settings. If needed, go to “help” options to fix any further issues.
Hope this might help you.
