No picture on TV and no clock on STB, but signal is working?

I'm hoping someone can help me.  I just got FiOs recently, and my roommate and I have two TVs set up.  One TV is functioning fine with great service.  The other one, I have tried to set up and Verizon tech support tells me that the box's signal is working, but the TV screen is completely black and I can't get the time to load on the set top box (QIP2500-3).  All of the cables appear to be plugged in, screwed in, and tightened.  Would there be any benefit to my switching the coax cable to a red/white/yellow cable input set, or is there another solution I'm not even thinking of?

Hoping someone can help!

If your STB is conencted to the TV via a Coax Cable then the TV will need to be tunned to channel 3 or 4.

If your TV has Composite Inputs (Red/White/Yellow) then you can also use them and switch the inputs on the TV.

Once you get the TV setup properly there is a setting in the STB Menus that will allow you to adjust what dispalys on the front of the STB.

I have it connected with a coax cable, and the TV is tuned to channel 3, with no success thus far.  There are also composite inputs on the tv, so I might try doing that tomorrow.

You should also try Channel 4.

Why not just switch the STBs between the TVs and see if the problem stays in the same place or moves?

1) Stays in the same place: either the TV is bad, or the cabling to the STB or from the STB to the TV is bad. Try another TV, check cables again, replace cables (or try a substitute, temporary cable first).

2) Moves: STB is bad (or maybe not activated?). Call Verizon.

3) Both work. Just leave everything alone, don't touch a thing  Smiley Very Happy
