I've experienced something similiar off and on the past month or so -
I lose some channels (on same Mux) and others are fine or I lose
most/all channels. I don't have a cable amp, the box is just wired
straight to the LNB, I'm assuming the LNB's getting water in (though
its happened on dry days) or else the cold is affecting it.

The thing is when I lose some channels completely if I check the
signal strength it shows up still as 60-70% even with the problem...
