Error messages from your TV or another device you’re trying to access DirecTV on. There might be a simple adjustment you can make to correct the error. Loose connections. Indicator lights can tell you if the cable box is actually plugged in and turned on; if you don’t see those, it could be a wiring or cable issue causing the problem. Input issues. If you’ve recently used your TV for gaming or to play a DVD, it could just be that you need to change the Input back to TV. A poor HDMI connection. Bad Wi-Fi connections. Home electrical connections or electrical service interruptions in your area.

Confirm that other electrical devices aren’t interfering with the modem: Is it located too close to computers, monitors, appliances or other electrical devices? Try rebooting your modem.
