      First, verify that the power is on and check the outlet connection. Then, check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit. If you're using an outside antenna, check its wire condition and connection. Try viewing other channels to rule out a broadcasting station issue. As a last resort, turn off the power, wait about a minute, and then turn it back on.
