    Hi.. It could be faulty patch or corrupt channels. Is it the same channel its happening on??. Had similar problem on a TM box a while back. You could try the following to eliminate one or the other:
    a) Switch off the box.
    b) Remove the LNB cable at back of receiver.
    c) Switch on box - you wont get any pictures as cable has been removed. Leave it on for a few minutes and see what happens.
    d) If it goes off then its a faulty patch - if it stays on then its probably a faulty channel(s). You may ned to delete channels and retune them in again.
    In the TM problem was due to faulty patch and had to reload a different patch and problem resolved.
    Regards.

      I had a similar issue recently and it turned out to be the Ethernet cable causing the issue, I was using it plugged into a wireless AP and the voltage coming via the LAN was causing the reboot, I switched to the wall plug connectors for the Ethernet and this solved the issue

        Hi must say very unusual for an Ethernet cable to do this although i do recall that a guy had similar problems after he plug the LNB cable into the OUT instead of the IN connector. Just goes to show that cables can do weird things at times.

        Regards
