Why is there no picture on my TV screen?
If you are experiencing a black or blue screen on your TV:
Note:
If you have multiple TV's and MTS Set Top Boxes (STB's), determine if the issue is present on one TV only or Multiple TV's.
- If the Issue is present on all TV’s, it may simply be due to a missed payment. Please visit Bill Payment Options for different ways to pay your bill.
- If the issue is affecting one channel only on all TV’s, it may be due to a channel lineup change or programming change. In some cases, Sporting events may be subjected to a local "blackout" without warning.
- Ensure that your HDTV is on the same source/input as your Bell MTS Fibe TV service.
- Press the TV button on your Bell MTS Fibe TV remote control.
- Press the TV/Video button.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Repeat steps b and c continually to cycle through all the available source/inputs on your TV until the correct source/input is selected. (ie. HDMI 1, HDMI 2, Component 1, Component 2, etc.) On standard TV’s (non HDTV), you may have only 2 choices, TV or Video.
- If the source is correct ensure set-top box has sync:
- Verify that the green "Link" light is illuminated on the STB.
- If no green light is present, continue to step 4.
- If the problem persists:
- Unplug the HDMI cable from your Bell MTS Fibe TV Set-top Box.
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Plug the HDMI cable back in.
- Wait for the signal to initialize.
- Make sure all cables connected on the set-top box and your TV are secure.
- If you are still experiencing a problem:
- Make sure ALL Ethernet and/or Coax cables are securely in place.
- Unplug the power from the Bell MTS 2Wire or Pace RG as well as the affected set-top boxes.

- Plug the power back into the Bell MTS 2Wire or Pace RG.
- Wait for the lights on the Bell MTS 2Wire or Pace RG to initialize.
