Yeah, I know, the fact that I can get a lot of channels doesn't mean that the LNB is working properly, or even that the problem still exists. I'm recording a program right now and don't want to stop that to check signal levels. Six locals and a handful of movie channels are working and that's good enough for now.

But they've got a whole new graphic that comes up. It's labeled 771 - DIRECTV Signal Loss and it has three illustrations below a short description. The three illustrations are Check Receiver Cables, Check for Dish Obstructions, and Contact Us.

You can hit Select and go through a troubleshooting procedure. All of this is new -- what I've seen before this has just been a dead channel and Error 771.

Has this been around for a long time and I've just never seen it?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Check the Coaxial cable. After troubleshoots failed. Came to find out that the squirrel chewed out about 3" of braid of the wire.
