Autotune Question

[loubon]

I have an LG TV connected to a Joey 4K. For years I have used this as my wakeup alarm. I set the TV to go on at a certain time and the Joey to Autotune to a specific station that I want to watch when I wake up. Recently (last week or two maybe?) when the TV turns on I get the floating sleep screen that says press the sat button to watch TV (and even when I do this it goes to a different channel than the one I set).

I have tried deleting and recreating the timer both from the Guide and by using a manual timer. I even deleted it altogether figuring it would at least go on with the "learned" regular channel and I still got the sleep screen. FWIW, under normal use the Dish remote controls the power On for the TV as well (together).

Any ideas? TIA

You need to change the hoppers inactivity sleep timeout in the power settings menu. The default is 4 hours and you need to change it to 8 hours before it sleeps. A hopper update may have changed it back to the default time.
