Sounds to me like channel sync'ing doesn't work good enough on your
system. Can you check the signal strength somehow? Maybe by attaching
an analog receiver to the sat cable. Often the picture is perfectly ok
on a digital receiver, while an analog receiver already shows a lot
of noise. In such situations the digital receiver loses sync if
the signal gets only a tiny little bit weaker. I sometimes observe
that here when there is heavy snowfall and my dish gets covered with snow.
Also, your dish might not be optimally aligned with the satellite.

Just some guesses...
