New Samsung LED not working with Dish Network

[hjames7796]

We purchased a 60" Samsung LED. We are not able to get it working with our Dish network receiver. We receive audio from the satellite but the screen is pink with black vertical lines. The original TV was set to channel 21 and the receiver was plugged into the component video ports. The new TV uses a component video converter. We plugged the receiver component video cables into the component video converter supplied with the TV and the results are that we hear audio but the screen is pink with black vertical lines. We plugged the DVD player into the same conponent video converter and we are able to watch a DVD so we know it is not a cable or port issue. Any suggestions?

What is your dish receiver model #?

What receiver do you have. If you have an HD receiver you should use the HDMI cable to connect to your TV.. If you have an SD receiver, there is no component output to be using. Only Composite.. Red/White/Yellow

I have a 60" Samsung LED TV. I use an HDMI cable from a 722K Dish receiver to the TV. Why would you use component cables when you have HDMI ports on the TV?

If you can tell us the following, we should be able to help.

1) TV Model Number
2) DVR Model Number
3) If the component video converter is required for something

"the component video converter supplied with the TV"....I'm not able to make sense of that.

Yeah, I think it must be something else that looks like a component connector.

Try reading the user manual for the TV and reading the user manual for you satellite receiver.

Your question will be answered by the information contained in the two user manuals.

The TV model is un60d7000. The receiver is vip722k. The reason why we are using component video is because our house was pre-wired five years ago and the old tv only had component not hdmi. The tv is above the fireplace and the receiver and dvd player are in a closet on the other side of the room. We would prefer to use hdmi but at this time we do not have a hdmi cable run from the closet through the attic to the tv. I suppose component "converter" was not the right terminology. The TV has a component "adapter" that was supplied with it. The adapter has and RGB end which the component cables connect to and then there is a single "component in" jack on the TV.

Thanks. I'll see if I can think of something.
