Make sure you have selected the correct INPUT. Many TVs have several from which to choose. Locate the INPUT or A/V button on the TV or remote. Press it once and wait up to 3 seconds to see if the picture appears. Repeat to cycle slowly through all inputs until picture appears. Some TV / remotes have buttons labeled AV1, AV2, AV3, etc. or similar do go directly to the specific input as opposed to cycling as above. Press each - one at a time - and wait up to 3 seconds for picture to appear.
If unable to display a picture, check A/V cables at cable box and TV. Note which input is being used on the TV for the cable box. Then select the same AV input on the remote that is being used on the cable box.
If still no picture, contact cable company / Verizon for service.

Probably a handshake problem with the cable box. It is common for cable boxes to have HDMI handshake problems. Hook the box up using the component cables and you should be fine
