Installation Verification Failure. Caused by low signal or distribution problem.

Troubleshoot cause of low signal.

Guide data Issue – No guide data received in over 1 hour

Possible distribution problem, incorrect ODU selection or signal blockage to one or more satellite locations.

 

They're both related to poor satellite reception.  Odds are that your dish alignment  needs adjusting.

 

Please post back with your signal readings for each satellite's transponders (and both tuners if applicable).  You'll find these readings under "Menu" -> "Setup" -> "System Setup" -> Satellite -> "View Signal Strength".  Note the "+" and "-" symbols next to the "Satellite" and "Tuner" entries where you can toggle the readings between the various satellites and both DVR tuners.

 

Fill in your readings for each satellite and tuner using these examples.  A properly aligned dish will show 80-90s on most of the relevant transponders (although some will be low or zero):
