Keep getting signal lost on satellite

For the past 2 weeks I've been getting the signal lesson satellite error and the weather is completely fine

Same here. At first, I started getting commercials over the top of live TV. I disconnected the recvier from the internet to solve that problem, but now the commercials are replaced by the bouncing AT&T logo screen saver. Same problem, different face. All the while, I'm getting the satellite connection 771 error across the bottom of the TV. I've reset the receiver (HR44-700) via power cable and red reset button. No change. I saw someone had a fix by holding EXIT on the remote until the receiver changed to Standard Definition mode, and then did it again switching it back to HD mode. This didn't get rid of the problem for me, however. My son is a field tech for the cable/internet company and he came over and checked all my connectons, cable runs, dish and power cycled my reciever and SWM again. I thought my reciever was going out but I'm seeing a lot of people having this issue so it may be a service issue.
