TV causing receiver to not acquire problem?

I just bought a TV to replace one that just died. The new one has
Guide Plus while the old one did not. The problem is that the TV is
apparantly causing the receiver to no longer acquire signal. The
signal is fine when the new TV is off, and when the TV comes on, I
lose the signal. The signal will usually stay on if the Guide Plus
menu active, but once I clear the screen to just the DTV channel the
receiver loses the signal within seconds. Can anyone please help or
suggest something?

Here's my setup to the best of my knowledge. Please let me know if
more detail is needed.

DTV dish is connected to old (1998?) Hughes receiver
Receiver is connected to a TV via S-Video, and a 4 way splitter
outside via coax.
Splitter is connected to 3 runs throughout the house, including the
new TV. I would assume that all of the runs are standard coax. All
of the TVs off of the splitter would get the same DTV signal via
channel 4.

This system worked flawlessly before with the old TV.

Thanks in advance.

First unhook the all the coax out from the sat rec. and use only the S-
video to new TV. Why do you have the coax (ch 4) going to new TV

Thanks for your reply.

The coax is going to the new TV because the receiver is on the first
floor near the dish and the new TV is on the 2nd floor where it is
using the exisiting coax. That room is not wired for S-Video.

If I unhook the coax from the receiver, I will not be able to watch in
any other rooms, which is the point of splitter.

Wild guess. Does the splitter pass power and is that output going to the new
TV?
