  If you're experiencing complete signal loss (error 015) on your Dish Network Satellite TV System, several factors could be responsible. There might be obstructions blocking the Tailgater's view of the southern sky, like tree branches or heavy rain. Also, the coax cable might not be properly connected between your receiver and the Tailgater. Additionally, you might be trying to watch a local channel outside its designated spot beam area. To fix this: * Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the Tailgater's view. * Check and tighten the coax cable connections. * Reboot your receiver by unplugging it for 10 seconds, then plugging it back in (allow 5 minutes to power on). * Verify you're tuned to a nationally broadcast channel.

  Lisa EricksonSep 4, 2025
  If you're missing over-the-air antenna channels (Error 739) on your Dish Network, the reception quality and available channels depend on the Tailgater's placement, your location, and weather conditions. Ensure the wiring between your DISH receiver and the over-the-air antenna is correctly configured. Unplug the receiver's power cord for 10 seconds, then plug it back in, and allow up to 5 minutes for it to power back on. Re-scan over-the-air antenna channels by pressing MENU then 6-8 to access the local channels screen, and select "Scan Locals."
