mine will run all night without the sat in cable hooked up, but once connected it runs then restarts regularly......

this one use to do that but after a closer look in the cable in box (tin) i found one othe little diod was burnt blue in colour i just removed it and that seemed to solve the off and on with the cable connected now the problem is when i put the card in........

skinerd i also noticed that one the unit is hooked up to the sat cable the voltage does not move it stay on 13.25 volt is this a sure sgin of the lnb chip is on its way out.........

no, that means it's not searching any more, the 13 to 18 volts is only when the cable is out and it constantly searches for a signal.....once it finds one, it could be at 13 or at 18 depending on which set of transponders it locked on to....
