What causes these errors?

You’ll see these errors happen when your DIRECTV equipment isn’t communicating with the main Genie receiver. Here are the top reasons:

• Your wireless video bridge and Genie DVR aren’t connected properly. Make sure all cables are securely plugged into your equipment and wall outlets.
• The wireless video bridge lost power or is restarting.
• The wireless video bridge isn’t in your home anymore, but still shows up on your Genie DVR menu.
• You replaced your Genie DVR.

Here’s what to do

• Follow the prompts on your TV screen to fix your issue.
• Or, try hitting the red Reset button on your receiver or wireless video bridge if you have one. Resets fix most issues.

Check the Main Receiver

• Find your Main Receiver. Make sure its cables are tightly connected. It may be in a different room.
• Quickly press and release the red button on the right hand side of the device.

This will interrupt everyone's video for 5-10 minutes.
