TV woes!

[Ben Hogan]

My Sony tv gives me a "no signal" message and no picture. DVD won't work. The other television in the house works fine. I unhook DVD to isolate the problem. Check connections. No change. Call Sony (no help). Call Rogers. Receive a lecture about having two tvs hooked up and paying for one. Grrr! The Rogers explanation is that their connection is fine and my weakening of the signal could be the problem. Unhook other tv. Still no picture.

The tv is only 4 years old. I have no idea what "no signal" means.
Any suggestions as to what else to try are appreciated.

Update...

I borrowed another tv and it works fine using the same setup. My problem is the Sony tv. Does anyone in TERBnation have an idea what fixing a "no signal" problem might cost?

Sony's have multiple inputs and you use the remote to select what input to display.

have you ever got the tv to display any picture before the using the same input or source you are trying to use ?

have you tried changing the channels on the tv manually?

Joebear has a point. Check to make sure you haven't accidentally hit the input button on the remote. It may be as simple as pressing that button and seeing if it's off it's normal setting.
