Are you sure you're using a coaxial digital cable? The cable MUST be 75 Ohm. Have you tried replacing this cable or swapping it out for another one? I have heard of similar problems caused by bad cables.

Dropouts like this typically don't happen with analog, so that would be the most likely reason you didn't have the problem before.
