Should the DVR always start with the satellite refreshing and installing 1 of 2 steps?

That is the full bootup screen. That should only happen if it has been unplugged from power or you have pressed the red reset button.

Verify the power cord is secure on both ends.

Perhaps try a different outlet.

Make sure it is not plugged into a special "smart" power strip.

If you have outages or power fluctuations, you might consider an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).

What model box?

Do any others have the issue?

Other problems?

Only if the power has been removed or you manually reboot it. Are you sure it is not plugged into a smart power strip?
