My sling adapter ( on a Hopper )is not working and I got it replaced. It worked for 1 day and then the red light was off again. I read a couple threads talking about the sling software version and that this maybe needs upgrading. Mine is on 0.0.0, but also says my sling status is invalid. Do I need to upgrade the software and if yes how?
Sling not valid.

It should be updating automatically when you have broadband connected. If the new adapter didn't do the trick, it sounds like you need a new Hopper. It sounds like an issue with the Hopper not updating the firmware. I would contact dish for a replacement Hopper.
The weird thing is, they work at first, then I a get the sling adapter is successfulconnected pop up a couple of times on one day. After that the red light is off and the sling adapter doesn't work anymore. I hope it isn't the Hopper.
My sling adapter is also doing the same. I have 2 Hoppers and I tried it on both with the same result. It is not likely that it is the Hopper. I had Dish out today for a different problem and it couldn't figure out what the problem is. My problem started some time after I installed the OTA module. Could that be it? "John"
That should not be the problem especially since it is not working on either Hopper. It sounds like the Sling Adapter is the problem. Please send me a PM and I can start the process of getting a replacement sent out.
