Hello try these 3 steps:

Reset your receiver by unplugging your receiver for a minute or so and then plugging it back in.

Check your cables:  make sure that all cables are tightened and plugged in to the proper spot. 

Check your dish alignment, ensure it is properly aligned with the direct Tv Satelite.
