If so, this happened to me when I found out the main cable that goes into my lnb input on the receiver had a splitter connected to it. Depending on your setup, if you have a switch, the main cable that goes to your main tv should be direct with no additional things put on it.

The next thing I would try is to flash it with original fortec firmware from their website. But if you don't feel comfortable doing this then return for a replacement.
Good Point, Druzey.

Many receivers protect themselves from a short on the LNB input by refusing to turn on or, if they are on, shutting themselves off. I have seen various brands of receiver do this. Some even say "LNB SHORT" on the screen.

Check for splittters in line, like DruzeTito says, or a bad connecter - especially those pesky little strands of braid touching the center conductor.
