Is the OTT box is powered up?
Have you selected the correct HDMI input on the TV? Channels don't matter.
Try a different HDMI cable.
Try a different HDMI input on the TV is it has more than one.
Try connecting the box to a different TV. If you TV is 480p or 720p and the box defaults to 1080p it won't show a picture on your old TV. If you connect it to a 1080p TV you may be able to set the box output in the correct resolution for your TV.
