You need to use the TV's remote to change the input/source on the TV until you find the right one unless you know which HDMI port you plugged the DTV receiver into.

Both HDMI ports from receiver and tv are connected. And yet, the tv screen says no device connected. I am confused.

The HDMI cord is on the DTV receiver, and the other end on the HDMI port of the tv.

I also used the TV’s remote the change the input/source. Even the tv doesn't recognize my DTV device or HDMI cable.
