"Searching for Satellite Signal(771)"

I had unplugged my Receiver and TV for several hours yesterday. When I plugged back in, I keep getting the above error. I have tried to reset, detach and re-attach power and cables, and I also refreshed the receiver from the DirecTV website. At 1 point, I was able to get pixels fluttering off and on. I am able to receive local channels.

I live in a high-rise, and DirecTV has main building dish(es) and then cabling to each unit.

I had surround-sound guys doing my wall cabling yesterday, but I don't see what they may have done to affect this if I can receive the local channels through the cable.

Please help if possible. Thanks.
