At RV park last night with dish up and great HD on front and rear TVs. Connections are wireless transmitter connected to DISH receiver sending wireless signal to rear TV and HDMI cable out transmitter going directly to front TV (both TVs LG LEDs). All goes well and I turn off front TV retiring to rear until that TV is turned off. This morning front TV says no signal and rear TV works fine. There was a small thunderstorm and rain during night but nothing terrible. I do think it is possible that electricity went out briefly since rear TV downloaded when turned on. I tried all I know to do getting nothing from front TV in regards to sat signal. Since rear TV works fine then I know sat is working properly. I even plugged front HDMI directly to reciever getting same "no Signal" reading. This set-up is about 60 days old but I am still thinking trouble has to be HDMI cable. Anyone ever heard of those cables just going bad. I have checked connections with no results. AV and regular TV works, but no satelite signal. Can it be anything other than HDMI or connections of such?

Thanks for any clues.

Frustrating thing is that I had just picked up coach from dealer where it had been for three weeks getting some minor repairs. Now back home and three hours away.

On a guess... I would say the front TV has changed inputs from the HDMI from the receiver to an "Over the air" station... And is thus properly reporting "no signal"

Check your "Source" switch.

Input was quickly checked but HDMI connection still reads no signal on screen. TV and AV inputs seem to be fine, just the HDMI that has the no signal banner.
I hate to relate all this to rain/thunderstorm of evening, but perhaps moisture has gotten in a connection. I am still thinking that it has to be the HDMI cable or connection of such cable. One other possible is that I notice the color of HDMI cable is different on each end telling me the installer must have patched two cables ino order to make the proper length, maybe bad connection, but all going bad overnight is weird. Guess it will be another 6 hour haul back t dealer. Coach has been in service more than on road but it should eventually get repaired, new ones have issues also.
Thanks

I would replace hdmi cable before driving 6 hrs . If changing or switching cables work bingo, if not continue trouble shooting.

Ditto on replacing the hdmi, I would also try a component cable just to check tv.
