I just purchased a Hisense Roku TV and can not get my Dish network system to show up. My Dish is connected through the coax connection not HDMI. Anyone else have this issue?

Let me answer this very tentatively, in complete ignorance of the equipment from DISH.  If it is connecting using the coax connection, I am assuming it is decoding and routing the channels to your set.  If this is using the old-fashioned Channel 3 or Channel 4 interconnection setup, then what you need to do is:

Hook the DISH converter up to your set, then do a channel scan.  During the dialog with the channel scan, the set will ask you whether you need to have channel 3 or 4 available for external equipment connections.  Answer this YES, and then proceed. 

As I said, I am in complete ignorance of the actual equiment, but this is the non-obvious set of actions that might be blocking your progress.  If I'm completely off-base, I apologize in advance.

Dish has been connected to my Hisense TV for years (accessed through live tv). A couple of months ago it stopped showing up. After resetting the TV, talking to Hisense customer service and Dish customer service, both are saying this is an issue with Roku tv? What has changed?????
