A "No Signal", "No Source", or "No Input" message will appear on your TV screen if the TV is not receiving a signal from your TV box. This is often a result of either the TV box being powered off, not being properly connected to the TV, or the TV being set to the wrong input.
In some cases, if you are not receiving a signal on your TV, it could be a result of a service outage. To find out, if there is a service outage in your area, check out our Service Updates & Outages page.
Ensure the TV box is powered on
"No Signal" might just mean that the TV box is powered off. To ensure that your box is powered on:
Press the POWER button on your Shaw remote control.
Depending on which remote you are using, you may have to press the CBL button at the top of the remote first, and then the POWER button.
Each device you have connected to your TV (eg. DVD player, Blu-Ray player, TV box) is connected to a unique input port on the back of your TV.For your TV to correctly display a picture from the TV box, it needs to be set to the input your TV box is connected to.
Power on both your TV and the TV box.
Change the input port selected on your TV by pressing the INPUT button on your TV's remote.
Reset the TV box
You can try to fix the issue by resetting your TV box.
Power off the TV box.
Detach the power cable from the back of the unit, and from the wall outlet or power bar.
Wait 30 seconds and then reconnect the power cable to the unit and the power source.
Your guide listing may read "To Be Announced" for up to one hour after resetting the box. The guide information will automatically repopulate over time.
Switch the cable input
If your TV has a faulty input, it will be unable to read the signal from the TV box.
Try connecting your TV box to a different input port on the back of the television.
Change the input port selected on your TV by pressing the INPUT button on your TV's remote.
Audio without a picture
If you are able to hear the audio on certain channels but cannot see the picture it may be because you are trying to view an MPEG4 channel through a box that is not compatible. For more information, read the Guide to MPEG4 Channels and Digital Cable Boxes.
