What gives?
 

I turned the TV off last night while whatever was on had just a blank green screen.

I turn it on today, and BAM! green screen. I was able to change the channels, but after changing the input, I can't change the channel anymore. I can't see anything but the green, and the volume bar.

Help?

Have u madesure none of the cables are loose?

Didn't think about it 'cause it was fine last night. Let me check.

Did you pay the bill? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

Nope. Cables are all good.

Yeah. Cable and internet are both FiOS and since internet is still going and the sound is still coming through, I feel safe assuming the auto-pay went through.

If not what sort of tv is it? One of those fancy ones or what?

google your issue.

Touche.

It could be a bad video or HDMI cable.

Fred glad to see you didnt get swept away and Kim is it possible that you have your tv on the wrong channel so its not coming through the cable box right or like ours you have all these stupid choices for input component stuff could one of them gotten changed

Thanks. My family is all safe but the destruction is affecting me in many ways.

Call Verizon Fios, they can reset it for yah.

Had that same experience before and Verizon said something to do with transmission error, hence no input. Customer service will walk you through the process of resetting! Good luck http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Maybe they forgot to tell you they were going digital http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...smilies/24.gif

It's a Vizio, so it's not some POS TV like my other one (Sansui, lol).

I can hear it though, which makes me think it's not a Verizon issue?

So it's lame, but I recorded all the wedding stuff and was going to settle in for the day, and it's currently recording something, so I'm loath to reset the actual box. Although, I am worried that my recordings will all be green http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

It might work for video though since that is different than watching tv, if you can see video Ill bet you a dollar that its a setting that got changed somehow though, check the channel thing. I did that about a month ago our tv was suppose to be on channel 3 and somehow got changed to 5 and mine did the same thing until I switched it back.

I turned the Wii on and could see it through it's input channel.

I can change the cable channels again, and I can even navigate the guide system, even though I can't see it. (I pushed guide, page down, select, and it changed from 510 to 518, so it worked.)

Let me play with the tv channels, Audra, and hopefully that fixes it.

There's nothing wrong with the tv. It's the cable box. Let's see how difficult this is to get fixed.

Later, apparently. My phone is dead. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

I am sure some channel will replay the wedding?

I'd try changing it to a different input. Could be one of three things off the top of my head.

1) Input on the television went bad
2) Cables from the cable box to the TV went bad
3) Output from the cable box went bad

Could be something else entirely, but those three seem to be the most logical and simple explanations.
