Hi thereSeighard Actually, I discovered what my problem was, by doing some research on the web. I don't always think to do that, and prefer to ask my questions on the list. It just seems so much easier a lot of the times.
I knew that my AppleTV was hooked in to my HDM I Q port. I could select it. That wasn't a problem at all. But when I would select it, my boyfriend would tell me that it said no signal. We couldn't figure out what was going on. Apparently, in some cases, the AppleTV goes to sleep, and will not wake up. When you select it. If you have cable hooked up into the other HDMI port. I don't know why this is or if it happened with the newer model, but this is what I read. All I had to do to get it to work was, select input it was on, then hold down the play and the menu button at the same time. I did this, until I heard the AppleTV speak. I would say maybe it took 5 to 10 seconds. So I am good now. I know how to fix it when I go to mass with the Apple TV. And I know my cable will still work, when I am done playing around with the Apple TV. So all is great now. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate you. You were always kind, and you always give great advice. I always look forward to hearing what you have to say.
