A 771 error code can have several causes. Some are easy fixes, some more difficult. Unfortunately you tried the most difficult one first!

Did you remove only the lnb or the entire dish? Hopefully only the lnb. Did you check all of the connections between the dish and the receiver/dvr?
Could there be a tree branch or other obstruction in the signal path from the satellite? What are your signal strengths on all of the satellites?
Thanks for the reply. My LNB actually was the problem it was filled with rain water and completely rusted out inside. I left the mast attached to the house and removed the entire dish. I replaced the dish with new LNB and have been trying to get it set up again. When I initially put it back up, all channels worked for a short time and then I started getting the 771 code again. I trimmed the tree that possibly could have been causing obstruction.
I am going to take your advice and check the connections to the DVR.
I'm now on the receiver that is downstairs and I am getting the following signal readings:
