Direct TV Not Working? Subscribers Have Issues With Local Channels

Direct TV subscribers are having issues today as they can’t get some of their channels. When you turn on your television, it appears that your satellite dish isn’t working, but some channels work and others don’t. Are you having issues with Direct TV today?

Local Channels Not Working

If you are on Direct TV, your local channels may not be working. While on these channels, it says “771 Satellite Signal Issue.” This makes you think something is unplugged or there is a storm in the area, but the skies are clear. If you change to non-local channels, they seem to be working fine and you are able to watch them.

Down Detector shows that it has been down since around 3 a.m. A lot of subscribers have shared that they are having issues. This comes as a shock seeing that ATT cell phones went down last week and Direct TV is run by the same company. So what is going on?

Customer Service Unreachable

If you call into Direct TV, it tells you that there is a very high call volume and to try back at another time or get in touch with them online. You then end up getting hung up on instead of having a chance to talk to someone to fix things.

When will this be fixed? So far, Direct TV isn’t saying anything and viewers are just going to have to hope that it is fixed soon.

Here is what some users are saying on X:

  • Ummmmmmm… Anybody else with Direct TV having issues with their Local channels? I can’t get any of mine here…
  • Anybody else having problems with Direct TV ? Long wait times on the 800, web says to call, no online agents to assist. Must be BIG
  • So it appears DirectTV may be having issues this morning. If you subscribe to DTV in the Valley and have seen either a 773 error code or a 99 (cb) error code, let us know in the replies.
  • So let me get this straight, ATT went down last week cell phone wise this week ATT DIRECT TV has a national wide outage Can we say ATT is having a bad 2 weeks??
  • Is Direct TV down in the MID TN area?

Let us know if you are having issues with Direct TV today in the comments below. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon, but so far Direct TV isn’t giving updates and everyone wants answers.

  2. I live in Red Bluff California and so far it is one station, NewsMax, that is constantly buffering and telling me my satellite may be blocked or there a storm in the area, none of which applies. I have not checked any “local” stations as you suggested.

    We pay enough that there should not be any problems. Are they changing things and going to ask for more money on our monthly bills? Indianapolis
