Step 1 of 2: checking satellite settings...

I get this error. Me remote does not work or has frozen up. I have unplugged for 15 mins. But same screen came up. I reactived. Nothing but same screen. I have checked every connection. Nothing in line of satellit. What now? Thanks

Do you have other Receivers/DVRs?  Are they working OK?

I assume this Receiver used to work OK?

Could your dish have moved?  Even slight misalignment will knock out the satellite reception.

It was just installed this past Friday   It worked okay on Saturday but started acting up on Sunday and has not come on since.  It just says searching for signals. I'll call directv since they had just installed.   I have tried everything and checked all cables except the one on the house which I can't get to.  Thanks for responding.

Probably best to call DirecTV and get a service tech right away while you're covered by the 90-day installation warranty.

Yes, we have 3 other receivers that were installed the same day and are not having any problems with any except this one.

You could Try swapping this "bad" Receiver with one of your good Receivers.  If the problem stays with the "bad" Receiver, you can be pretty sure it's defective.  If the problem stays in its room, then something is wrong with the satellite feed into that room.  But regardless, it's best to get a service tech out to fix it for you.
