How many direct TV receivers do I need for 3 rooms?

My TV does not want to show the E! Channel whereas the other TV's in the household show it?

• I have a Vizio 26" TV which is an LCD HDTV in my bedroom (just moved back with my parents). When I had my apartment I had no problems with the TV not that I do now which is why I'm explaining. My parents have regular box TVs (I guess you would say) in other rooms of the house since they haven't converted over yet. Ok here is my problem - my TV will not show E! Entertainment or some of the digital channels (I can do without the digital channels). Now the TV in the living room shows the E! channel but that TV also has HBO and all that jazz. I have watched this channel on the TV in my bedroom before but all of a sudden it is not coming up. My TV is the only one with this problem and I'm just trying to figure out where to start. Could it be the cable company, the TV, or is it possible I need the converter box even though it's a newer TV? I'm better at hooking up phone lines than figuring out cable issues. Any expertise? I would be so thankful as this is becoming annoying. Thank You :) Oh and if I missed something don't worry just ask and I'll post my response in- Thanks

• Answer:

  I worked at a cable company.. If your tv is missing specific channels and the others are not, you may need to perform a channel search. It should load any channels you may be missing. If you are still missing these channels after you perform a channel search, it could be that those channels have been moved to a digital package which would require you to upgrade to a digital tv or digital box.
