I don't have a picture, just a white screen.

I don't have a picture, just a white screen. I've tried unplugging the receiver from the tv (waiting a min), hitting the reset button, changing channels, turning it off/on, and letting it sit.

      Ya. okay, go to your main TV , ( the big box) and pull the power cord for 10 to 15 seconds then plug it back in

      the white screen should go to a searching for servers screen

    I have been a Directv technician for 5 years and can walk anyone through most problems or troubleshooting...

    You have a mini genie doing that. To fix this you need to download your genie. To do this, hit the red reset button on your main receiver. The genie. This Button is located inside a flip down panel on the right hand side. After you hit the reset button, wait for all lights to light back up and press 02468 on your remote, this will force a download. You will know it worked if your screen says searching for new software within 15 secs of pressing the numbers. If it doesn't start a download repeat the reset process until you get a download.
