I just got a new tv, and have hooked it up to my Directv receiver per their phone helpdesk person's instructions. I can't get the channels to auto-program on the tv - it keeps telling me there's no signal. The Directv help guy hung up before it finished trying to auto-set the channels, but said if it didn't work, to just call back. Since he couldn't tell me properly to begin with, I don't want to call them again. Can you help? Thanks!

How are you connecting the receiver to the television? RCA cables? HDMI? Coax cables?
Auto tune only works if you are connecting via coax and plan to use channel 3/4 to view. If you are using either HDMI/Coax/Component/etc, then you would need to use the input button on your television remote (Not the DirecTV remote, the one that came with your television) to toggle through the various inputs until you find the signal from the DirecTV receiver.
