Hows your Signal Strength loom for that box ?
 
Could be a flaky lnb. Have you checked all of the connections, especially to that box?
 
I'm guessing you don't have a swm setup, yes? If you don't have a bad or loose cable inside, I'm betting on a bad lnb or loose cable at the dish.
 
Being a swm setup, then I'd be looking at the cabling that is going to the "bad" box. Can you swap the boxes? That may tell you if it's the box or something else.
 
Well I'm sure the tech will fix you up on Tuesday.
 
So it was a cable issue on that line only, good to know. I'm glad you got it fixed, hopefully for good!
