Direct TV resetting box

[TerryRM]

We recently lost power and now when I turn on my television is display snow like on the screen.  How do I reset the box to get my channels back?

Some TVs return to the ANT input when they lose power so try using the TV's input/source button to cycle them until DTV comes back.

Yes, this is not a DirecTV issue. As shannon says, most TVs have a default setting for the input the tv uses after power is restored. this is typically set to ANT from the factory. There's usually a way of changing the default so the TV goes to DirecTV but you will have to look in your TV user manual to find out how to do it.
