The screen says no signal cannot find our new direct tv hd box and when there is a picture that comes on when we watch movies off the dvd player but no sound. The TV is 4days old and we just upgraded to HD box on our Direct tv. How do i get the direct tv to come up on our tv screen? And the sound to work when we try to watch dvds on our dvd player

Wrong connections. Plug the HD box thru the HDMI and the dvd thru the Component making sure that the audio sockets are the ones assigned to it.
Have you selected the correct HDMI input in the tv's menu (there are 4 of them) ?
If you don't have component exits on your dvd (which is truly odd - only the cheapest, crappiest ones don't) then use the Composite exit and make sure you have selected it in the source menu.
Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. Two things that will cause the NO SIGNAL message to come up are, No data available for closed captioning and a weak signal input. Your TV is in the Closed Captioning Mode. To turn of simply bring up the on screen menu and scroll down to the part that says closed captioning and turn this function off! With the closed captioning block displayed and the program being viewed is not sending out closed captioning signals the TV will display, No Signal!
If this doesn’t resolve your issue then the problem may be with the processor failing and it is causing a random read of the EPROM to display the not available message.
I’ll suggest you to run the HDMI from the PVR (personal video recorder) directly to the TV (mute the TV), and then run the optical audio from the PVR directly into the receiver's optical in. The closed captioning is something that is addressed in analog broadcasts, but not necessarily digital broadcasts
Try using Component cables if this doesn’t make a difference. After using components cables your issue will be resolved.
Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Yup, so you can change the DVD Player or the cable for it to work.
