Directv help please?

Question

I had to unplug and undo everything on my directv box the other day and since hooking it back up, it just says searching for signal. I have one downstairs too and that one is fine. I can't figure out what to do. I guess I could call, but I figured I'd put it on here first.

Answer 1

Your cables have to be right in both places.  Into the DTV box (cable in) and then DTV our (cable out) into the tv (cable in) spot.

Answer 2

it sounds like you don't have the coax and ires in the right place, check them first,,
