Try basic trouble shooting, starting with using another coax cable. If it still happens, switch to a different coax input on the receiver. Try a DVD player that has always worked on the input you currently use for cable. It is possible it is the cble box, or just a mild incompatibilty between the box and receiver. It happens. I have a DVD player which tends to do the same thing with one receiver, but not another, and that receiver does not have that problem with any other source. The receiver looks for a properly clocked digital signal, and when it isn't happy, it shuts off the input until it is happy with what it is being fed.
