Genie Going Bad?

Does anyone know the symptoms of a Genie needing replacement?  Mine is now 8 years old and having problems like momentary audio dropout and signal hanging on several different stations.  I have refreshed and reset many times both from my end and via tech support.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
