Joey2, please don't die on me!!

Today, something weird happened.
the wifey yelling from kitchen she can not watch TV. I go up there, notice the 'signal lost' (can't remember exact words.) warning. 3 choices, streaming, DVR and learn more. I turn the Joey off and on. still the same. I go to basement tv (with another Joey2). turn it on. everything is fine. it is not related to dish outside. no heavy rain or snow.
back to kitchen and unplug the power cord from Joey2. wait 10-15 seconds. plug it back. Joey2 eventually comes back to screen with same 'signal lost' message!
I convince wife to pick a recording from DVR. no problem. She is a trooper, doesn't fuss much
.
the question:
Is there anything else to do or do I wait and hope the issue will go away?

thank you.

Sounds like it could be an issue with the cable, or it is indeed dying. (Hipkat can chime in if I am off here)

But if it does die ask for a Joey 4. While they were buggy when they first came out they are now amazing little boxes.

Temp swap Joey's from basement to kitchen, and see if the problem travels. If it stays in the kitchen, it's the cable. If it travels, it's the former kitchen Joey.

And, lately, we have had Joey 4 installs without the Hopper+

Waited wifey to finish watching her beloved show. went to kitchen. Joey automatically switched to live (the last channel viewed) tv. changed channels to be sure. it was good. Perhaps, we dodged the bullet.

It happens again, I will swap two. Still bad, time to call for joey4.
thanks for all the responses.
