Coming to the topic, while using the service users sometimes get an error code 071. It happens normally when the dish is not able to communicate with the satellite. It is a common issue that happens normally nowadays with everyone and it occurs especially when the weather is bad. When this occurs, users are not able to access anything on DIRECTV. But in some cases, it happens even if the weather is clear. So, if you are not able to fix the issue, here are a few steps you can try to solve it –
- Check the Satellite-In cable to ensure that all the connections between the receiver and the wall outlet are completely secure. Check the adaptors if you have connected any to the cable.
- If there is a SWiM power inserter attached to DIRECTV cable coming from the dish, unplug it from the electrical outlet.
- Wait for around 15 seconds and then plug it back. Make sure that you do not plug the SWiM power inserter to the power outlet which can be turned off.
- Alternatively, check the satellite dish and see if something has blocked the line of sight from the dish to the sky. Remove the obstacle if there is any.
