my tv stopped working? I got no picture, had black and direct tv logo moving around. Now it's just black/dark. I didn't do anything. Any ideas?

Do you get power? No? Try another plug which you know works.
Still no power? Bad news, time for repairman.
Yes? Then
Can you see the TV's menu? No - bad news
Yes? Then
Connect a VCR, a DVD player, or any other source.
Still no picture? Then TV problem.
You get a Picture from another source? Then Direct TV problem

Most likely problem is cable from dish to dish reciever
has gone bad or got cut.
The reciever sends 18 or 13 volts depending on odd or even transponders if the voltage source has failed all reception will be lost
And lastly .. whens the last time you paid the bill?

With the Direct Receiver ON, remove the card from the slot. Now unplug the receiver for 1 minute. Plug it back in and insert the card back in the slot. Does that help any?
