Get help with DIRECTV error code 775

If you see error code 775, your DIRECTV receiver is having trouble communicating with your satellite dish.

Here's what to do

  1. Check and secure all connections on the back of your receiver. Start with the SAT-IN connection.
  2. See if you have a SWiM Power Inserter attached to the DIRECTV cable coming from your dish (it may be in a different room). If you do, unplug it from the electrical outlet.

    This power inserter is usually black or grey and the size of a small brick. Make sure it isn’t plugged into a power outlet that can be turned off.
  3. Wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in.
