Really Weird Hopper Issue

[isaacmorseMI]

So I wake up today and notice the one of my Hoppers is running really slow and that the DVR is not working... So I do a soft reboot and it acquires the sats like normal... I then get a 833 checking switch message... And here is the weirdest part... The Hopper comes up to the configuration screen like it hasn't bern setup! Is the hard drive going south?

I think your problem is that it doesn't like being upside-down... Try turning it over. How did you reverse gravity like that? If that's not the issue then try moving out of Australia... I don't think the sat reception is too good down there...

On a more serious note... The NVRAM could have gotten corrupted. If you want to check your HDD, once you get the receiver out of the installation wizard, press BLUE > Click TESTS > Click COUNTERS > Scroll down to the HDD temp section > Make sure "Fail FS Count" is zero. May want to check it again after a nightly reboot as well.

All is good now. Thanks to Matt for the help. Hopefully the Hopper behaves itself.
