First Steps Before You Call

1
Note any on-screen error code
The code narrows the cause immediately, so write it down before restarting anything.
2
Restart the Genie HD DVR
Unplug at the mains, wait thirty seconds, reconnect, and allow a couple of minutes for it to reacquire the signal.
3
Check whether it affects every channel
One missing channel and a completely blank screen point at very different causes.
4
Check the weather
Heavy rain or snow can interrupt a satellite signal temporarily. Persisting after it clears is a different problem.
