Your TV has several inputs, like different doors. If it is looking through the wrong one, you will see a blank screen, even though everything else works.
1

Find your TV’s remote

Use the remote that came with your TV, not the streaming device’s remote.
2

Find the Input button

Look for a button marked Input or Source. It sometimes shows a rectangle with an arrow pointing in.
3

Press it

A list appears on the screen, usually with names like HDMI 1, HDMI 2 and TV.
4

Check the number on the back

Look at where your streaming device is plugged in. The port usually has a number beside it, such as HDMI 2.
5

Choose that number

Use the arrows on your TV’s remote to choose the matching number, then press OK. The picture should appear within a few seconds.
6

Try them all if needed

If you cannot see the number, try each one in turn. You cannot harm anything by doing this.
7

Get back to regular TV

Press Input again, and choose TV to go back to regular channels, if you still have them.
