    Is it overheating ?
    Had a receiver with similar behaviour like yours and it was running too hot. Try to check if it is hot and just temporarily remove case and put a fan on it to see if heat is the problem.

          Indeed there is no fix. You can try to use a fan powered from 5volt from your receiver. Be carefull where you take those 5Volts because you don't want to take power from chipset for example. Would be better to take 5Volts nearest from source.
          Don't know zgemma receivers but it might help to remove heatsink and put new heat conducting solution because the one which came from factory is probably damaged from heat and is quite hard now leaving your cpu without contact from heatsink thus resulting in poor heat transfer. Let's hope this receiver has some kind of heatsink which can be removed without desoldering.

            No signal is unusual for Cable, usually they pop up a "Tune Failed". It's common on a poor Cable signal. You could have a dodgy tuner, you can also try another PSU.
