fatalxt43,

If you use Dish, then you should be able to plug your satellite box into the television. That said, the box itself acts as the tuner, and will autoprogram all the channels you've paid for. The television tuner would therefore not search for the channels, as it would be redundant.

Try turning your televison to channel 3 or 4 with the cable box on, and see if you get your picture then.

Keep me posted.
