The box is not in a cabinet and has lots of ventilation. The weather has been consistent over the past couple of months, so I don't think heat would explain why it stopped shutting down when the cable came loose and then started shutting down when the cable was reattached.

Another thing to try would be to swap the PVR and STB and/or the cables between the TV's and boxes.

The cable swapping idea is great! Failing that, maybe it is a hardware issue and needs to be replaced... but it does seem odd it only occurs when the TV cable is attached...
