Signal Loss (015, 015a, 002)

Are you getting a complete or partial satellite signal loss error (015, 015a, 002)? This error is usually caused by damaged cables, a misaligned dish, malfunctioning equipment, severe weather or major changes in the home (new roof, new carpeting, etc).

Are you instead seeing a black, blue, or snowy screen, or a "no signal" message on your TV? Try our No Signal, Black, Blue, or Snowy Screen troubleshooting steps.

All of your DISH receivers need to be in their original locations where our technician installed them. If you've changed cable connections or moved receivers, you have two options:

 

  1. You can move the receivers and cables back to their original configuration
    OR
  2. If you need receivers to be installed in new locations, contact us.

DISH signal is very reliable, but on rare occasions severe weather can temporarily interrupt service. If you are experiencing severe weather please wait for it to clear.

Some content is not affected by weather; if you have a DVR you can watch existing recordings

Check the dish to ensure it has a clear view of the sky. Objects blocking the dish's view of the sky such as tree branches, or things on the dish like snow buildup can interfere with satellite signal.

If it is safe to do so, remove any obstructions.

DO NOT CLIMB A LADDER OR GO ON YOUR ROOF.
