some channels have 771 error for part of the day

Some of our channels  show a 771 error in the morning but later in the day seem to come back on.  They will pixalate at night

Almost certainly your dish needs realignment. If your signal strength is marginal, sometimes you will just get pixelation (particulalrly at night when signals propagate better) and sometimes a 771 message. Call Directv and ask for a tech visit, $100 unless you have the protection plan.

There are videos on youtube showing you how to align the dish yourself but it is not a trivial task.

Hi @marybroderius 

If you see error code 771, it means your DIRECTV receiver is having trouble communicating with your satellite dish
