Satellite Signal/Streaming loss

We had storms Sunday afternoon and my tv went to streaming.  It was still streaming this morning, but there are no storms in the area.  I had to reset my receivers and now the streaming functionality is no longer an option and I’m connected to my home network.  How can I fix these two issues and get my live TV back?

Until the signal is at the proper levels you will continue to get the view in low resolution message.

Hi @cdpitts38. We're sorry that your TV signals went out. Can you try switching TV inputs/sources? Let us know if this works. Christian, DIRECTV Community Specialist

I have tried everything, resetting the network, unplugging and resetting each device and I’ve even tried to cast nothing tied to Directv works. All my other streaming services will cast

Most likely your dish needs to be aligned as storms generally don't effect the signal unless the rain/snow is very heavy.

Signal is back but the signal saver wasn’t working. I can’t check until it goes back out next time

With a properly aligned dish it will not go out again.

If the signal saver feature is not available during a signal loss, please visit Enable SignalSaver to continue viewing | DIRECTV Support for instructions on how to turn it on during signal interruption.

I have done all these steps including resetting my network and signal saver still isn’t working. I keep getting pushed back to View in Low Resolution options only.

I will get a technician out to fix it

The technician came today, he ran a signal test for the transponder and the signal was at 32 total instead of 101.  It’s a wonder I had any channels.  I am up and running with no pixelation.
