i recently removed my CD player from tv and direct tv because it broke. Now whenever I turn the tv off, the direct tv receiver shuts down. So now every time I turn the tv on, the direct tv has to go through a complete reset finding the satellite signal, the whole nine yards. I have researched the proper way to hook up the the box, and belie it to be correct. I only have, now, a tv and a direct tv box. Please help. I have turned power off of the box, and taken the card out as one thing I googled said to try,but it had no effect.

to Satelliteguys Mowpar!Odd that the DirecTV box reboots every time it's turned off. Is HDMI-CEC enabled? It's a setting in the menu that turns the TV on and off when the DirecTV receiver is turned on and off.
Did you move the power cord to a different outlet?
Somewhere your D* recvr is losing power, thats the only way it should reboot, unless you actually go into the menus and tell it to .... unless you have a bad box, but it doesn't sound like thats the issue .
What Directv recvr (model) is it that is doing this ... and what remote ?

If it's not a bad box, I'm leaning towards it being plugged into a surge protector like ejb19180 suggested.
Or a light switch that gets turned off that they don't know turns on that particular outlet.
Just throwing out thoughts ... things to make you go Hmmmmm.
I have seen that happen with peoples Internet modems ... they don't know why the internet goes out, then back on later.
I found the reason to be the stupid multi port extentention box with surge protection. I recently unplugged the thing to repaper the wall. The first plug port, if it were the tv, shutting the tv off, would shut off power to the other plugins, i.e. Satellite box. How stupid is this thing? Thanks for all your help.
That's surely deliberate - they designed it so that you can have one device control the power of a many (i.e. if you turn off your computer it will turn off the monitor, printer, and external hard drive that are also plugged into it) Bet if you check out the part number on the back and look it up to find the manual online you'll see how it works.
