Check that your TV can use PAL signal.
The default setting in GT Media is PAL.

Modern GT Media remotes have a "TV Mode" button that will change this.

There is also the older green button option.
Added fast key to switch video output mode or format.
we try to support some old TV or some signal mode TV
Press menu key to main menu.(Panel show "----")
press Green key to switch NTSC/PAL, the panel will show "PAL " or "NTSC"
Press Stop key to switch the video format
PAL mode : the panel will show "576I" -- "576P" -- "720P"(50HZ) --"1080I"(50HZ) --"1080P"(50HZ)
NTSC mode : the panel will show "480I" -- "480P" -- "720P"(60HZ) --"1080I"(60HZ) --"1080P"(60HZ)

Do you have any other HDMI unit connected to your TV?
Other users have reported that some newer GT Media units cause the TV to shut down HDMI when other devices like audio amps are connected. This is a rights protection thing in the newer HDMI5.

Another thing is that as the HDMI cable is the only connection from the satellite box to the TV and the TV is earthed. Any power or ground voltage spike comes from your outside dish through the HDMI port to earth on you TV.
If this may be an issue with your site, connect an extra earth to the LNB cable at the satellite box, or add an AV cable to provide more earth between the TV and satellite box.
I have things like this with an electric fence in the farm paddock.

Morning guys just to update you the technician say the cpu is destroyed and will have to be fixed for the hdmi port to work again, which is the same exact problem from the first receiver it happened too as well.

I would check you set up for earth loops and ground currents etc as I mentioned above.
If this has happened twice, then ground current is the likely cause.

Earth the LNB cable at the set top box with any new units you get to stop ground currents using the HDMI cable to ground on your TV.

The quickest and easy is to run a AV cable between the unit and the TV as this adds more ground wires to the TV.
I did this to stop the electric fence clicks on one site I set up.

If your power supply wall sockets have an earth wire in them, just run from there to the LNB cable.
An old printer mains voltage cable with the active wires removed will do, if you know your stuff around wires.
