why is there so much 771 loss of signal with channel 356?

why is there so much 771 loss of signal with channel 356?  The problem seems to get better at night.  Also it seems to have started with the cancelling of the Eastern feeds. 

I'm in California 95076 (Royal Oaks, Prunedale)

Most likely your dish needs to be aligned, there are videos on youtube if you want to try it yourself otherwise call DTV and wait until a CSR can get to you to setup a tech visit.

The signal on 356 is obviously marginal. It probably affects other channels also but not enough to trigger 771.

what's your signal strength on103cb TP5?

The problem turned out to be a tree limb blocking the signal. Still it is interesting that it only blocked channel 356 (MSNBC). I don’t think my tree has any political leanings.
