Why does my bose surround speakers work on blueray but not tv

[apriljh5]

I connected by Bose lifestyle system up and it works great with my blueray but only one speaker works when I switch to the TV

When you say "switch to tv," are you referring to cable, satellite, or is the system literally hooked directly to the TV when you "switch to tv?" USUALLY when something like this happens, it's because the source is only sending a specific number of channels for audio. Odd that it's one channel, so my last question would be, when you switch to TV, what exactly (and with what cable(s)) is hooked into the Bose system?

basically more information is needed about what cabling is involved with the TV input on the Bose and what it's connected to? (cable box, satellite, tv, etc)
