Run Auto Program

The message to (2) Run Auto Program is showing on my screen. The TV was fine and then I looked up and the message was on with weak or no signal- (1) check antenna cable connection which I did.  My remote cannot change anything. It’s like the tv is not recognizing the remote.

Your TV is set to the input for antenna and needs to be set to the input for directv (usually HDMI 1) using your TV remote. Either you accidentally set it, or you had a power failure. When a TV powers up, it sets a default input. The default is often set to antenna, but you can reprogram it to be the DirecTV input. You need to look at the TV manual to learn how to do this.

Edgar's post does not address the issue. There's nothing wrong with the remote. As I posted, and then nabuki confirmed, your TV is on the wrong input.
