H3 morning reboot required

[DJMooty]

For the last two mornings, the H3 has refused to power on and display.
After a lengthy reboot, at least 3 Hopper is starting up, it works. Not sure if some multiple power on presses could be involved since I have noticed a fair amount of delay on normal startup.

Please send me a PM so That I can help you troubleshoot this issue. Please include your Account #, 4 digit Pin #, R00, Bootstrap version, and the Software version.

Several of us are having to reboot the H3 if it has been turned off for longer than several hours. We have been told engineering is working on an update to resolve the issue. When I do reboot it I see a boot screen 2 or 3 times before it is actually is fully up. Not sure this is the same issue but seems similar.

The 3 4 boot screens part is perfectly normal (its stupid but normal) once each for 480P,480I 720P and then 1080I.

EDIT: Actually it looks like it is 4 boot screens

 

[VideoWhiz]

Yeah, you would think it would boot to the resolution you have selected, once.

Will pm on next occurrence

Kicking back, big grin, feet atop HWS. Would smoke a cigar if I had one.

Would you care for a little Kool Aid with that cigar?

Interesting, Sunday March 13, after 6 or 7 days of having to reboot every morning, the H3 came on correctly this morning. Still on SW U304 and boot 1010. Related to clock reset or program guide from Daylight savings?

Is it on a UPS?

Yup, but reacts the same plugged into the wall. I have not tired it yet today to see if U307 changed anything related.
