Directv getting channel loss 771 but not really

I continually get 771 signal loss on 1 at the bottom of my screen. The weather is perfect and CA and CB on signal strength screen all in 90's. No trees in the way.

This has been going on for 2 days. The message at the bottom of the screen comes and goes, becoming aggravating. DirecTV help at 800-531-5000 is not available due to COVID99.

Recorded message I finally got says press channel up twice followed by channel down twice. It works temporarily.

We had that problem yesterday morning . . . . Oh Wait . . .it might have been the five inches of snow on the dish.

Scratch that about trees. It may be a tulip tree with new growth only about 50 ft. away. It may be infringing on the 103 satellite. I think I can trim it from the ground. Wish I could cut down the messy thing but my wife.......

How are your 99 and 103 sats? Best I can suggest is a reboot, but I'm sure you've done that. Or your cables/connectors are failing. That's pretty common.

What's weird here is the Quick tune channel display. I get no icons, just numbers. My other receiver is just fine.
