It could be that simple but likely not. Many TV's nowadays support multlple input sources. You may find an Input button on its remote.

Thanks chris,

I’m smiling because I used to do Tier 1 and 2 tech support for Verizon DSL back 
in the day and those sound like very familiar questions.

Yes, the TV is indeed plugged in, speakers are working.

My dilemma, I think is having the right HDMI source activated. Right now the 
only thing plugged into the TV itself is the actual cable leading from the 
cable box. The speaker system is plugged into  the cable box.

My dear spouse who has a tiny bit of vision is currently looking at the remote 
for the TV to see if it does indeed have an HDMI button. If so, I suspect 
that’s what gets pushed to enable the HDMI port and then Voila! I hope.

If I’m wrong here, someone please let me know. Everyone makes this sound so 
easy yet that initial step has been sort of missing from all the descriptions 
I’ve read.

Is the TV set on the correct HDMI source?

Are you running the TV into a speaker system?  If so, are the speakers on? Is 
the receiver on?  Dumb question, is the TV plugged in?  Is the volume turned 
up?  Is the power strip/supply turned on?  Not trying to throw no duh's in 
here, but I'd rather start with the obvious that isn't! always the obvious.

Chris.

Subject: Setting up an Apple TV


I bought an Apple TV Third Generation back in February, yeah I know.

I’m now trying to set it up sans any visual help, on my new LG TV.

We’ve had the TV running on cable and I thought I could just plug in the Apple 
TV to the HDMI connector and power supply and Voila, it would talk and ask me 
if I wanted VO activated.

It does nothing discernible.

I’m sure there’s something I’m not doing correctly here. I tried disconnecting 
the cable from the TV and that didn’t work.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
