I use the hdhomerun_config_gui utility and watch the meters that are displayed. Those meters will tell you if you are having antenna problems . If the green bars stay consistent, then sounds like a network problem as discussed.. 

I also use a different variation of the hdhr config command line to dump the same info as seen in the guy above as follows:

hdhr=<hdhr_id>

hdhomerun_config $hdhr get /tuner0/status

When the above is looped, you will see drops if there are problems as you would with the gui version above.

Someone also mentioned the power supply, and I have had to replace those when things got weird.
