TV takes a minute before it goes on. Why?

When I turn my receiver on, it takes a whole minute for my TV to go on.
 I don’t understand why it won’t turn on at the same time as the receiver.

What is the solution?

 Thanks.

DVR/Receiver model number?

How is the DVR/Receiver connected to your TV?

How long does it take your TV to turn on when you use its remote?

Hi.

 Thanks for getting back to me!

 I have the genie whole home set up.  The receiver is a mini genie.  The cable goes from wall to genie modem.  The mini genie is hooked up to the tv by an hdmi cable.

I have tried numerous times using the remote control set up, but to no avail.

 It takes up to 2 minutes for the tv picture to go on.  I just turned it on 5 minutes ago and still no picture!

I’d appreciate any advice you can give me.

Thanks!

Tom

How long does it take your TV to turn on when you use the TV's remote instead of the DirecTV remote?

I can’t answer that one.  I haven’t seen my tv remote in years.

What about the TV's front panel power button?

When using your DirecTV remote, does the TV power on quickly with just a delay in the video appearing?  Or does it actually take a few minutes for the TV's power to come on?
