My dad called and they told us to take card out and put back in and that fixed it.

Hi there @Debbie1,

Error 004 indicates that an issue was detected on the Multidish switch, and if it cannot be resolved remotely a technician visit is necessary.

We invite you to keep us posted on how everything goes.

The Community will be here for you if you need anything else,

Hi there @Bricker1986. Thank you for your post, and welcome to the Bell Community.
In order for the Community to better assist we need a bit more information.

Which television service are you using (Fibe or Satellite), and what type of TV receiver (make/model)?

We recommend unplugging the equipment to reboot, and also please ensure that all of the cords are securely connected.

If you are using Satellite TV you can also check out our website for more information about the error code Satellite TV error codes and troubleshootingOpens in a new tab or window

Hope to hear from you soon.

just got a new receiver 6500. getting the setup page started to go through gets to 40% and then i get a error code 004. tried resetting. ensured i had the proper rg6 coax cable and a new one at that. ensured its grounded correctly. what other things can i check other than the receiver. 

Hi there @siegez 
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community.

Error 004 on the 6500 is an issue detected on the Multidish switch. Are you still experiencing this issue and if so, is it only happening on this receiver or does it occur on other receivers (if you have additional receivers)?

Looking forward to hearing back.

Hi there

I just got the 6500 receiver as a replacement but anytime I try to do the startup and complete the setup on the receiver it fails and says to mention error code #004 anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

 

Thanks

Hi @Klassen16. Welcome to the Bell Community 🙂

Just checking in to see if you are still having trouble. If so, are you getting the error message on multiple receivers, or just one?

Keep us posted, we're here for you if you need further assistance and will send you a quick PM.

Yes still getting the same message. Only on the 6500 receiver it does that all the other ones are working

Thanks for letting us know @Klassen16.
