Have you tried the TV brightness control? DTV receivers only output a signal it is up to the TV to display it.

hi thank you!

We have the brightness setting on as bright as it will go! And it’s weird that only channel 2 &4 are so dark

What model DirecTV box?

How is it connected to the TV?

Is this the same way it was connected to the old TV?

Did you change anything else when you replaced the TV?

Have you verified the cords are secure on both ends between DirecTV and the TV?

DirecTV box set to correct resolution for the TV and connection type?

Have you tried a red button reset or even unplugging power for at least 20 seconds?
