Odd problem popped up the other day with my DirecTV dvr plus.
Once in a while at random the signal seems to drop. It goes out for a split second then comes right back in. It's not even out long enough to disrupt audio, only video.

I've checked connections and I've made sure nothing is blocking the dish. The signal strenths seem fine.

And this even happends on a clear sky.... could it be a bad LNB or bad multiswitch maybe?

This sounds like a video problem between the receiver and your TV. If you are using an HDMI connection for video to your TV, temporarily try component video inputs to the TV to see if that fixes the problem. If so, you may need a different HDMI cable. You might also try a different HDMI input to your TV.

What model DVR do you have? Take a look at the following thread in the R15/R16 discussion. Sounds similar...
