You might be correct that it reboots every time it tries to connect even if the connection fails. But I'd still suspect a HDD fault because the EPG data is stored on the HDD, whereas the HDD isn't required for simply booting up. The software that's needed for bootup is held in flash memory, not on the HDD.
But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what the faulty component is. You need a new box.
