Default What gives?
I turned the TV off last night while whatever was on had just a blank green screen.

I turn it on today, and BAM! green screen. I was able to change the channels, but after changing the input, I can't change the channel anymore. I can't see anything but the green, and the volume bar.

Help?

Yeah. Cable and internet are both FiOS and since internet is still going and the sound is still coming through, I feel safe assuming the auto-pay went through.

Touche.

It could be a bad video or HDMI cable.

Thanks. My family is all safe but the destruction is affecting me in many ways.

Call Verizon Fios, they can reset it for yah.

Had that same experience before and Verizon said something to do with transmission error, hence no input. Customer service will walk you through the process of resetting! Good luck

It's a Vizio, so it's not some POS TV like my other one (Sansui, lol).

I can hear it though, which makes me think it's not a Verizon issue?

So it's lame, but I recorded all the wedding stuff and was going to settle in for the day, and it's currently recording something, so I'm loath to reset the actual box. Although, I am worried that my recordings will all be green

It might work for video though since that is different than watching tv, if you can see video Ill bet you a dollar that its a setting that got changed somehow though, check the channel thing. I did that about a month ago our tv was suppose to be on channel 3 and somehow got changed to 5 and mine did the same thing until I switched it back.

I turned the Wii on and could see it through it's input channel.

I can change the cable channels again, and I can even navigate the guide system, even though I can't see it. (I pushed guide, page down, select, and it changed from 510 to 518, so it worked.)

Let me play with the tv channels, Audra, and hopefully that fixes it.

There's nothing wrong with the tv. It's the cable box. Let's see how difficult this is to get fixed.

Later, apparently. My phone is dead.

I am sure some channel will replay the wedding?

I'd try changing it to a different input. Could be one of three things off the top of my head.

1) Input on the television went bad
2) Cables from the cable box to the TV went bad
3) Output from the cable box went bad

Could be something else entirely, but those three seem to be the most logical and simple explanations.
