Welcome to DBSTalk!
Problems like this are often related to temperature-sensitive issues with the dish's LNBs. You might need a new dish.

When you say "checked for loose connections" did you literally unscrew EVERY connector and check it's condition?
I once had a grounding block that basically rotted from the inside out and I couldn't tell until I disassembled every connection from dish to the receiver to figure out why I was loosing signal.

while it doesn't get real cold here it does seem to happen on days we get cold
fronts.could the lnb affect just one tv while the other 3 tv's are ok

yes i started at the sat box and went back to the dish.my basic cable and internet
run on the same cable and i have no issues with them.they all have been on the same line for 4 years.

I could see where loose or failing connections from the dish could cause this problem. I would try to schedule a service call for the time of day when you are having the problem.
