Hopper 3 misc bugs or bad hard drive?

[DefDude]

I've had the H3 since the first day it was available. In the last month or so I've had a few different problems,
I have update U322 installed on 8-29
1-during skipping forward , it will stop responding and freeze on a black screen before jumping ahead or just staying on black screen until I reboot.
2-during playback it will just stop, "saying it is at the end", it's not and I have to restart the program and fast forward to spot it stopped at.
3-missed recordings, mainly in the morning
4-the guide shows the wrong date for new shows..a day before.
like today's episodes that are new show them as "NEW" but with yesterday's date, this might have to do with #3
I see another thread about #2
Anybody else having these type problems or is it my Hard drive ?

I'm not having any of those issues . Sounds like your hopper is crapping out.

None of those problems with my H3.

Have you done a power off (unplugged) reset?

How are you rebooting?...Need to do a hard reset.

#3 is a rare but known bug that has been with the Hopper since the beginning. Occasionally it will skip a recording and mark it as 'skipped by customer' when it clearly wasn't. I have seen this on all models and versions.

#4 is the way it is on everybody's H3 as far as I've been told. It's a bug.

#1 and #2 I have not experienced.

I'm transferring all my shows over to a EHD and I'll try a receiver reset in case it's a bad HD. If that doesn't work I'll get a replacement..It may be I just have too much stuff on the H3 and just need to clear it out and start over to fix 1 and 2

#1 I have been getting that every so often with the newer updates.
#2 is a bug that I am thinking at one time, a long time ago, I was blaming programs getting cutoff, when actually they end early and are all there. You just have to go back start over, scan to where you were and go from there.
#3 as "JSheridan" says . . .
#4 the guide is and has been a disaster for years on many levels.
