How are you trying to hook it up to the tv set, and what happens when you do? "Can't get it to work" leaves a lot to the imagination...

This is because you have no channels scanned in. You have to hook up a working dish and go into the menu, set the settings to your setup and scan in the channels. It defaults to a screen of the last channel you watched. In your case you have no channels scanned in. So, you have to get some scanned in.

It does this all on its own. Maybe a video type mismatch. Some reason your TV does not like it. I see this about every 2 years. Try a different TV or computer monitor. There is a V.Mode button on the remote that cycles through the different modes. press it wait like 10 seconds press again, rinse and repeat. It will go through several video modes. I would try a different TV/monitor and/or HDMI cable first. The cables that ship with the unit, may for some reason not like your TV.
