If anyone cares, I still don't have a functional hopper plus. I figured I'd give an update. My hopper 3 is also still stuck on 333. Is there a way to force the hopper to update, like a recovery mode of some sort. I wish Dish would make these updates available to the end user on a USB. If there are any techs out there that would want to mail me a USB image or even a drive with the latest Hopper 3 FW, I would have a Venmo or PayPal to make it worth your while...
