How are you hooking the new TV to the receiver?
If you're using a HDMI cable (preferred method) then you'll need to go into the input settings for your new TV and select HDMI.

Hi there Naomi! My name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. It is my pleasure to assist you today! If you are at TV1, where the receiver box is located, the tv needs to be on channel 3 or 4. Depending on the cable that is running between the receiver and the tv, the tv may need to be on an input, such as video 1 or 2. If you are at the TV2 location, where there is no receiver, then the tv needs to be on channel 60 or 73.
If you are using an HDMI cable to connect the DISH receiver to the TV, then the TV will need to be on an HDMI input (change the Input on the TV by pressing the Input or Source button on the remote that came with the TV when the TV was purchased NOT with the DISH remote)
If you are using Component cables, your TV will need to be on a component input. (Usually Comp 1 or 2)
If you are using RCA cables, then the TV will need to be on a VIDEO input (Usually Video 1 or 2)
If you are using COAX cables, then the tv needs to be on channel 3 or 4 (If you are at TV2, then the TV needs to be on channel 60 or 73) If you need further assistance feel free to reach me at: kimberly.escobar@dish.com
