I used to have this problem with my Pace 1000 STB. When summer arrived I noticed the return power level would gradually creep up into the low to mid 60s. This never affected the TV but sometimes I would lose broadband as the middle light would start flashing on the box. Luckily it would come back on towards the evening as it cooled off. I originally thought that it was a problem with the green box getting too hot, but since I've had a Samsung box installed my return power has stayed in the mid to low 40s regardless of the outside temperature.
