Both my TV and AT&T Uverse are on, but my TV screen is still black/dark blue. What does that mean and how can I fix it?

Cables should be fine. It's pretty new. We've had Uverse for less than two months. I rebooted the box, but nothing happened.
When we hit Menu, nothing shows on the TV.

We have it on two TV's, and the other one works fine.
Shouldn't be any cables loose. No one messes with them.

How do I tell if it's coax or cat5?

They may be coax cables because I didn't recognize the cat5 cables when I saw the picture, so we may not have those.
I also learned that the TV I'm using is about 15 yrs old.

What type of cable is used to connect the U-verse receiver to the TV?

We fixed it. We unplugged the tv and plugged it back in, and it works. Thanks for your help.
