DirecTV problems

DirecTV problems main areas of concern include connecting to the Internet, no signal, total outage and in some cases a problem communicating with dish. These happen in certain areas of the USA, and normally when these occur amongst other issues the direct broadcast satellite service provider sorts them out as soon as possible.

DirecTV error codes 775, 771 and 721 have popped up in the past, which are normally fixed after they occurred. More error codes may pop up in the future and when they do you can list and discus them with the DircTV community below. If you are having problems with certain channels, able to watch things you have recorded but nothing else then please list them here.

If you are experiencing a DirecTV outage or any other problems please leave your status update below with your location. These updates you leave will help others in this community.

  • Phil Reinheimer

    My NBC stations have been down for a week! Channel 3 (KCRA) and Channel 58 (KQCA) Sacramento, California

  • Ann

    My ABC local wMUR channel has been out for a week and it’s not the first time this year. No credit given this is important station local weather and planning for your day. I’m considering this as a breach of contract. I’m a long time customer who’s ready to move on!!

  • Tamara

    My ABC and CW which locally are called KMBC (ch 9) and KCWE (Ch 29) have been out for over a week in Independence, MO! How do we fix this? I watch this local stations all the time and we had to switch to Direct TV/ATT because U-Verse was not going to offered any longer in our area. Not happy losing my local shows.

  • Jan

    My direct tv plays then when it buffers the channel never comes back on, then I get a loading error. If you change the channel it works again.

  • Rachelle

    We live in Garden Plain KS and have had no signal for about 10 hours. Major ice storm heading our way. Would like to be able to watch the weather!

  • Eileen

    Oklahoma- Direct TV Code is 2-1 I have no idea what this means but it has been down all day.

  • bookumdano

    For the last 3-4 days Error Code 771 has popped up on some channels. The message has bounced between Sat In 1 and Sat In 2. The channels out however have been the same. I am under a 2 year contract with AT&T, and they tell me that they need to send out a Tech, at my expense. I am really pissed, since I am paying a monthly fee to use THEIR equipment, and they want an additional $7.99 a month for service coverage,or a $50 fee to send the Tech. The problem appears to be an equipment issue. As soon as the contract is up, about 16 months, I will be switching services to someone else.

  • Having the same issue. All boxes work except the two Genies. No help with DIRECTV same fees.

  • Mark Beidleman

    It was difficult to get a picture, but then there was no sound. I did reboot, but that does not seem to have made a difference. Now we have neither sound nor picture in Red Oak, TX.

  • Aggravated customer

    “No servers were detected” that’s all I’m getting after I try searching for signal. One TV will start working out of no where and then quit again. Can’t find any outages around be right now. So not sure if it’s just me or if anyone else is being effected. Madison ohio 44057

  • this is crap

    No server detected

  • Timothy

    One minute an internet connection: download a movie bam! No internet connection. Hating DIRECTV !

  • Megan Wright

    Ill try that , I hadnt heard that was fixing the issue ty for the post! I will also post when I try this and let people know if it helps

  • Megan Wright

    Okay, I pushed the red reset button in the front panel on the receiver, and waited foreverrrrrrr for it to go through its tests , I then went and searched the channels that weren’t working [just in time to see who won Alone -.-] and it all seems to be working finally! So a BIG Thank you to Kara Greenwell. I am not sure why Directv couldn’t tell me that, but thanks to the internet and the awesome people that live in the usa it is working. Btw, I am in NE Mts. of Washington State , so this might not help everybody . But it is worth the 3 or 4 minutes to give it a try.

  • Teresa

    The page that lists the programming is is full of no information…announcement to be made…lots of mixed up no title stuff. All tvs affected. Emmett, Idaho. Started last night about midnight. Channels still show the programs but are not identified. What do I do?

  • Nytshaed

    Directv down in Nor Cal, 510 area code to be precise. I’m at work and cannot run diagnostics, or say what codes it’s showing, if any. Family just texted me that “Cable had been down all day.”

  • Jennifer Leeds

    Northern Illinois DirecTV out…

  • Propexper

    I was scheduled to have DirecTV install on Feb. 21 in VA, but no one showed up for my 8am-noon window. I called customer service who said they’d call the installer. Still nothing. By 5pm, I called again, this time getting a CSR who told me there was some sort of nationwide outage. She said the next available install appointment date would be March 13. I cancelled. Now forced to re-sign with Cox.

  • Andi

    Once again the on demand channels are not available.

  • Erika

    Apparently people all over the country are having trouble watching their local channels. I had the same problem when I first got up, this is what worked for me: on your remote, press menu, go to Settings & Help, go to Settings, go to satellite, go to repeat satellite setup, press the dash button (under the 7) 3 times, go to continue, go to setup remote later, go to watch DIRECTV. Good luck, hope this helps!!

  • Greg Bellamy

    This helped. Huge thanks!!!

  • Jonelle

    Thanks!!!!!!! This was so helpful

  • Robin Whiteman

    Getting error codes 771 and 775 fir several months. Tried rebooting and unplugging the receiver. Tech support didn’t help solve the problem. Offered a credit and advised us to watch TV via our tablets. Said that they were in the process of updating our receiver but their “expiditing team” would solve our issue soon. Don’t really believe them

  • Ronald Martin

    Just changed from dish to direct. It is raining and the signal is lost. Not happy. With dish the signal was only lost when there was a very bad storm. I believe I was misled by the salesperson.

  • Denise

    Just spent nearly an hour on the phone with DIRECTV because every movie I try to order it tries to load then says it’s not available.

    The supervisor looked up the movies I picked and said they’re not available…so why are they showing up in the menu as available? The only answer she had is that some movies are available and some are not.

    But she could not explain why they show up on the menu.

    I wasn’t even key word searching…just opening up a genre of movies and picking from the list.

    Grrrrr

  • Boto salud

    i’ve had problems with directv in the past also. especially when the rain hits and the clouds obstruct signal. has anyone tried online streaming? There is an online streaming company called NuMedia global which offers over 3000HD channels. I imagine this would be the way to go for those of you that have had bad experience with signal loss due to geographic location. if you’re interested in learning more about it let me know.

    Network connectivity for on demand and for network based smart home remote control has stopped since 3:48 AM eastern US. Noticeably right after a 3:46 AM update of the software to version 0x1112. Whole day of support chat and calls – only answer “you pay us $90 we can send out a technician”

    Oh – and here is the cute part… I have run Directv over my FIOS broadband for 5 years. Now Directv has an issue but guess what network hot spot did not – yup my ATT WI-FI hotspot works fine with my Directv receiver.

    Going to capture packets today

  • Blake

    Searching for satellite signal (771) on all my televisions. Unable to get half of the channels. Anyone else having this problem?

    I have had an ongoing issue since day one of my install. No error code. Main TV works fine, mind you its the only one in the home that does. All Seconday small boxes are junk. Have had several service reps come to my home with no clear answers except the last service rep showed me an inter office email explaining there is an issue with the smaller boxes flashing yellow light comes on screen goes blank it reloads and then pictures comes back on, he explained to me they have no answers and they are working to resolve the issue. Well that was two months ago and i am lost as to where to go from here. He even said if the female operator took the information right i would not have even got a service call, which i will add i have not paid for every time because the nice serve reps have taken care of it. Very long story short….. i am frustrated and highly disappointed and would like a clear answer as to why i can not get new boxes. It’s been over a year Please tell me there is help somewhere out there.
    Thank You for any assistance.

  • John Mancini

    Having the same problem on DTVN, but not on other firestick channels like CBS. Chatted with helpdesk. NO HELP. They won’t admit to problems and have you do the same troubleshooting steps over and over again with no improvement. Delete Directvnow and reinstall it then clear data and cache. Nothing helps.

  • Rachel Morton

    Nothing, ke er pe flashing off. I have unplugged, credit receivers, checked the satellite dish, nothing. I’m pretty sure they are down.

  • SMoore

    Rachel, we are in South Florida and had same problem but actually 3 times today. We can be watching TV and all of a sudden screen freezes and then it’s blank.

    We have only had Direct TV for less than a week and have had to call service now 4 times.

    I hope this isn’t a daily, weekly or monthly occurrence.

    We had Comcast and hated their customer service and fact you never talked to a human.

    I live in East TN and ABC has been off in the Knoxville area since Saturday, 7/6/19. To make it all worse….July was the end of our first year in the imposed 2 year contract. It freaking doubled to $140!!! I had to call and reduce our plan…don’t miss most of those channels….BUT….no ABC when we are assured that all major channels are included. Their notice states that “they share our frustration”. Somehow I, don’t believe that! That notice should also “share” what they will compensate everyone for their breach of contract on a daily basis!

  • Jane Bedgood Morris

    Yes…off since Saturday 7/6/19….we’re in East TN. I posted above.

  • Nancy D

    In Albuquerque NM. Signed up for Century Link Internet service and DirecTV on 7.31.19. Since 8.05.19, only 5 days after signing up, we have no DirecTV service which means no channels at all. We feel totally ripped off!!

  • Jeannie

    In Glenpool, OK (Tulsa suburb). For the past several weeks I get the 771 signal loss on several channels: 229, 282, 312 & 293. There may be others, but these are ones that I regularly watch. This mostly happens in the evening. I have done every single troubleshooting step possible with no solution. This occurs when there is absolutely no bad weather, winds, rain, etc. There is absolutely no tree obstruction around the satellite; everything is clear around it.

  • Barry

    Problems with frozen screen and continues intermittent disconnects since Aug. 8th and today, Aug. 9th.

  • Joe Hernandez

    Im sick of direct tv not having NBC channel and in dec im going to join other people with getting off cable completely and going to buy OTA so i will not have a cable bill anymore. The channels come in crystal clear and there are a few HD channels and your abc cbs and nbc channels. I have one room in my home that has OTA already and i get about 70 channels already so i think im going to tell Att to shove their direct tv and find a cheaper internet service provider also.

  • edward Schipper

    I am about ready to cancel my direct TV i have had enough , going to dish

  • Dagwood Bumstead

    That won’t happen. The contract requires binding arbitration and denies joining a class action suit.

    Ya, the whole binding arbitration thing sucks, but blame the Republicans in Congress for refusing to fix the problem. And yes, it is the Republicans.

  • Terry

    What is OTA?

  • Joyce Bolby

    channel 312 is not working right. is anyone else having issues?

  • Emign

    Same here and a few other channels!! You pay way too much for this to happen!

  • C Kelley

    Yep having issues with certain channels, and I am not happy

  • Nicholas polansky

    It’s all crap people. Been with Direct tv since 2009. Not getting HD channels 220 specifically. Wait 20 minutes and they tell me their tech department is down??? Said they are having their own issues. WTF does that mean. When AT&T took over it has gone to complete crap. They don’t come close to honoring the contract they enforce on the consumer. Mass exodus will continue. I could cite so many issues.
    Getting off this train shortly. I recommend others do the same

  • tom hartnett

    Channel 312 -Hallmark, all pixelated in Florida. No rain or clouds, and certainly no snow–except on my TV. Waited on phone for tech services and they disconnected. ATT needs to be broken up again!

  • Gregory McGee

    Several sports channels have poor reception now, which includes 206, 209, and 219. I am unable to watch college football on these channels. The weather is perfect in Fort Worth, TX, without a cloud in the sky. This is totally unacceptable!

  • Hart Duddy

    Perfect weather…200 channels pixelated….what’s the problem.

  • Jesse Buck Jones

    The day of the Breeders Cup and Channel 220 is pixelated. Having to watch on Sportsmix Channel 205. Been on hold on phone for over a hour

  • Mark Myers

    From 202 to about 219 is pixelated in El Paso, Tx also.

  • KD

    I read on other site directv is aware but no ETA to fix it………….only work around is to hide HD channels in display setting and watch it in SD……………the channels effected seems to be different in different areas.
    I’m in Asheville area…….mostly channels around 240-260 area

  • David C Andrews

    I’m having trouble with Hallmark, Freeform here in the Houston area. Nice sunny day, though there are some clouds.

  • SP

    Anything that has “HD” next to the channel name is messed up, but any HD programming that does not have HD next to the channel name (IE the HD versions if local channels) is working fine.

    Isn’t it coincidental that right above these messed up channels on the guide is an advertisement to upgrade to 4K programming. Anyone else suspicious that DirecTV is screwing with HD reception to make people believe they need to uograde?

  • KD

    I have 4k and I still have the HD problems

  • RH

    Lincoln NE. Sunny day. No clouds, 100% clear and no trees. CNN and a few other channels are pixelated. Others work. Signal strength is 97% or higher across with board. Reset DVR a couple of times. Not fixed.

  • RH

    CNN and a few other channels are pixelated. Many do work. In Lincoln NE, Clear, no clouds. No Trees. Signal is 97% or better. Reset the DVR a couple of times.

  • Omar

    Yes. This is happening in Los Angeles CA too.

  • Beatlearl M

    It happened on nearly all of my favorite channels and man was I pissed.

  • John Catherwood

    They stopped programming to all my receivers yesterday until I did a refresh, did the refresh and none of the genies are working. Called tech support, no answer for 30 min. Called to cancel service and they cant get tech support on phone for last 27 minutes.
    ATT you have ruined another company just like you did with NEXTEL, you suck, I will be canceling Direct TV.

  • Christopher Wittmann

    Evansville, In is still without Directv. It has been over 24 hours, my wife was on hold for 2 hours before we just hung up. ATT get with it and fix your issue!!!!!

  • patrick finn

    I called last night and spoke with a representative. One of their satellites is down. They said it would take a few days for the info to transfer everyone over to the other satelite. Ask them to resend signal to your receivers. This worked for me. The rep also said not to turn off the receiver because it may lose the signal again. I didn’t want to leave my TV’s on all night so i turned them off. This morning same issue. I called back and they resent signal and it is back up again. I am not turning off my receivers now!
