Satellite signal outage, switching to internet

Most likely your dish needs to be aligned, there are videos on youtube if you want to try it yourself otherwise you need to call DTV for a tech visit.

Hey @djanels. This happens when your service is interrupted by weather or signal loss. You can opt out in Settings by selecting Do Not Automatically Switch. Rhyan, DIRECTV Community Team

I Iike signal saver, my problem is that I can't record when I'm using it. Directv help, I don't think you understand the question 

Shannon, I don't feel like I can do it myself. I have a tech coming May 1st. The weird thing is one day it's fine and the next is not, back and forth 

While some features, like recording, are unavailable with SignalSaver, you can still watch DVR recordings from your playlist. More info here: Turn on SignalSaver to keep watching | DIRECTV Support Rhyan, DIRECTV Community Team

Directv, I know this. That's what I've been doing. I want to be able to record current shows. I don't think you understand what my problem is. Never mind 

You can't record programs that are streamed from the internet with screen saver only the sat channels.

Shannon, i know this, thats why my question was asking for help in fixing the problem. Did no one read my initial post?

Alignment is the most likely cause but there are can be water in the LNB or the coax, loose/corroded connections that the tech will check.

We're glad you have an appointment set up. If you need help before or after the visit, let us know here. Rizza, DIRECTV Community Team
