If the issue is a low xponder signal (searching for sat signal 771 msg) rebooting generally won't help for more than a minute or two. However, that was the first thing we taught all the reps in their C.S. scripts to do.
Whether it helps or not check your sigs because they might be too low. Should all be in high 90's if dish is properly aimed except for 2 local spotbeams + a few zeroes of inactive xponders. If most are in the 60-80 range EVEN IF IT IS WORKING call DTV for a re-aim but make sure you clearly tell them you "randomly get SFS 771" which should be code 771 IIRC. Should be at least 3 separate sats to check signal on (as of 2012 at least!
).
