Mine is not booting now but if you are in the setting menu the screen goes black every few min's. i was going to sent it back but cost more to send it back then it is worth.

I would file a paypal dispute if it was through ebay. Can you try a different video output in the rear to try and narrow it down?
yes i have tried other outputs and 3 different firmware. yes tried paypal but he has in his listing buyer is responsible for return shipping he will take it back but shipping is $56
Does the screen go black when there is no coax hooked up to the receiver?
i haven't tried that will try it next.
With no coax hooked up it has not blacked out. I hooked up just the c-band coax and it is still running good. I had this hooked up running my c-band and ku thru a diseqc switch i don't believe this receiver will handle it
it worked fine on the D-15.
How long is your cable run? Maybe you can try a new switch/cable and recheck all connections. I have signal problems but they're mostly due to having a long run and multiple switches that are not protected from the elements.
Some of the switches I have pass power to LNBFs not currently selected which seems strange but true. I didn't believe it until I tested a Digiwave 8x1 switch that had cascades through 2 other switches outside on the dish farm. That sort of scenario puts unnecessary parasitic current draw on the power output of the receiver. When I was running a microHD STB, it had sometimes long delays when switching. It couldn't handle what I was trying to do and starting indicating a short circuit message onscreen which was really overload due to the setup configuration. Some boxes may react in different ways.
I agree with rrob311 about the cable and and the elements, add some moisture and corrosion and it might be too much?
cable run 60ft yes i tried another switch it strange it only blacked out while in settings while watching a picture it stays steady
