After just over a year of really solid performance from my two Hopper with Slling/one Joey setup, I got a bit of a curveball this morning.
Turned on the TV first, as I often do, and saw the message stating that my software was up to date, and it was downloading the guide. Nothing new, but I went ahead and pressed Select since the guide was only at about 80%. Nothing happened except the little screensaver started cycling through different messages about how I can protect recordings, or set limits on how many items are saved. Did that for a while, then the screen went blank. Stayed that way long enough to get me to do a red button reset.
Came back up with the "Hopper with Sling Starting Up . . ." message, and then it reset itself. So I tried the un-plug/re-plug reset, and actually left it unplugged for quite a while. Went through the Start Up messages, then I saw this
Don't remember ever seeing that one before. Of course it started at 0%, but after it had been at 20% for some time, the receiver reset again. After that reset, I finally had a picture from my local Fox network, but still had the message overlaying the screen
I experienced a few more resets as it reached 20%, then it finally went farther - I think as far as 70% - before resetting. As I type, the screen just froze, but it just jumped to 95%. Aaaand, it just went blank. And reset again.
Any thoughts, or similar experience from others? This one really has me stumped. By the way, I checked my other Hopper and its attached Joey, and they seemed to be working fine. I even checked the DVR list, and the first Hopper showed in the selection drop-down. I did not select it though, for fear I might mess up the process. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.
