Troubleshooting DIRECTV Connection Issues

Meet Jason Vanover. He's a customer solution manager with Solid Signal, an online online electronics retailer sister company to Signal Connect. Because he knows so much about DIRECTV installations, Jason troubleshoots our customers' satellite TV problems. They call in and say, "I'm not getting any satellite signal! Can you fix it?" Jason can, and he's more than happy to do it.

To the average subscriber, these DIRECTV issues seem huge and impossible to fix. To Jason, who understands the nature of satellite TV installations, it simply means asking you a few important questions about what's going on. Based on your answers, he's able to diagnose the problem over the phone. Once he knows what's going on, he patiently coaches you through what you need to do to fix it.

Here are some of the DIRECTV issues that Jason encounters during the average workweek:

1. When clients first get their DIRECTV receivers from Signal Connect, they continue past the 'dish type' setup without adjusting it correctly. Most of the time, they're using a standard definition dish, but they default to high definition, which results in missing almost all of their channels and getting 771 error that the satellite signal can't be detected.
2. A viewer is able to get to the activation page and it will activate, but they'll be missing almost all the channels once it starts. This usually happens when someone doesn't configure the dish type correctly.
3. The 771 error, which is a loss of satellite signal. This is a common problem for DIRECTV installations in RVs, campers, and motorhomes. It typically happens when owners take a trip and leave their DIRECTV receiver on a local channel under channel 100 (NBC, CBS, Fox, etc.) Since these stations don't work outside of their service address zip code, they'll get the error warning once they travel outside their local area.
4. Trying to move a receiver from their home to their RV and losing signal. In some cases, this is a violation of DIRECTV's service agreement.
5. When a customers sees the words "no signal" on the screen, there's a good chance that they're on an incorrect TV input.

Does any of this tech talk make sense to you? It's okay if you say "No." We don't expect you to be a DIRECTV installation expert. (You got satellite TV to enjoy your favorite programming, after all.) At Signal Connect, we employ the DIRECTV experts such as Jason to help you during those rare times when your service goes down.
