Streaming Box won't initiate service when powering back on after a shutdown

The Streaming Box in my bedroom won't start the service after turning off the unit & TV. I have to unplug and plug back in for it to initiate. It goes through the loading process and then it works just fine. Any suggestions?

Did you just buy the box--or have you had it for a while?

New box! Just set it up a few days ago. The one in my living room works great.

I've been experiencing this problem immediately after setup from the very first time I turned it off. It happens every time I turn it off. 

No, I don't get any error message.

Who did you buy it from? Ebay or Dtv?  If you got it from Dtv can you see it listed on their website--account details--my streaming devices?
