Intermittent Screen Blackout

I know this has come up before, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

We have DirecTV satellite with a DVR, no streaming.  Starting last night, every 5-10 seconds, the screen blacks out for 1-2 seconds.  We don't lose sound.  And it's only occurring on one extension box (we have two and the DVR itself).  I have tried unplugging the box for a couple of minutes.  I have tried switching HDMI ports.  No change.

Have you reset the DVR?

No, but the DVR and the other extension have not been affected.  I'll go do that now.

EDIT: tt is still doing it even as the DVR reboots. (On Hardware Testing in Progress right now.)
