Well, I turned on the Hopper to be greeted by the infamous black screen.

I did a red button reset (I'm sure it did as the EHD lights were flashing)
Then, I did a Power Cord reset.
Same thing.

When I turned the Joey's on, they said refresh is in progress, but they now work fine.

But Hopper still has black screen. I know that it's putting out a signal (that is black) because my Sony Bravia will tell me that there is no input signal.

So, how did you guys get out of it other than 2 hours of resets?

I've tried hitting every button on the remote to no avail. But again, Joey works and I can see the channels and the DVR menu so I know the Hopper is not DOA.

Did try channel up or down button?
