First of all, Welcome to TSF ottis, we're glad you found us.

My guess is that you turned off the source not the TV. I've done that too. Turned the cable box off instead of the TV only to discover it some time later. With multi-function remotes it's not hard to do.

The key will be isolating the problem - if there is one. Here's what I'd do, assuming you haven't got it working already: unplug the TV for a couple of minutes. While its off - check all the connections. Then change the batteries in the remote. Then plug it back in and make sure its set to the cable input. You might have to use the buttons on the TV as it may be the remote. Then make sure the cable box is on - you should be able to see the front panel LED change when you change channels for example. If you still don't have a picture, do the same but this time use the DVD player and corresponding input. If you still don't have a picture its probably something with the TV. Post back with the make and model and we can do some research.

Again, welcome to TSF, the best place on the web.
