If it hasn't been off that long that would be a problem. Unplug all your Joeys and then reboot the Hopper. Once the hopper is up leave it in standby and let it do its update.

You either haven't had anything update in 3 weeks or it's been off when you didn't realize it. The Hopper must be in standby to receive updates. Also, there can be no recordings happening during that time.
Unlike the previous Hoppers, if you disable standby, it will never shutoff and you have to manually shut it off to get any software updates after you learn about a new version here.
I just learned this from dish the other day, I was running the first edition software I skipped 3 versions LOL. No wonder my hopper was still really buggy it was not getting its updates, so from now on I have to manually download the software.
I have my setting to shut off after 8 hours but I don't know if my Sony TV is talking to my Hopper 3 but I'll the TV off for an hour or 2 and come back and my Hopper is in standby. I'm using the HDMI output of the Hopper to the HDMI input of the TV.

If HDMI-CEC is enabled, turning the TV off also turns the Hopper off. The inactivity time setting only kicks in when the receiver is left on.

Were there 3 versions? I thought the original was U301 and then the updates were U303 and U304, is there something newer? I just wished there was some indicator to let you know there is a update available like when one hits the home key three times, it will say next to the version number if there is a update available.
No, the opposite. If you are watching TV and then walk away and leave them both on, the inactivity timer kicks in (probably from the last time you used the remote). If you turn your TV off, that should send a signal (via the HDMI cable) that turns the receiver "off" (or standby).
The receiver can go into Standby mode automatically (by the timer) or manually.

Not so here. Turning on Hopper kicks on the TV, but Hopper stays live when TV is turned off.
Do you have HDMI-CEC enabled ? I'm not 100% certain on this. I know turning ON the Hopper will also turn on my TV (and switch to that input if necessary) but maybe it doesn't turn it off the same way.
Mine works like the others. H3 will turn on TV, but won't turn off TV. Turning off TV won't turn H3 off either. So, it seems to work right when powering on, but to power off you still have to manually power each off separately.
I don't mess with HDMI-CEC at all. I use one button to turn on/off the H3 and the other button to turn on/off my TV.
No guesswork involved!

Seems like it wouldn't work if you were always turned to the same channel unless pressing tv on starts the timer count.
Before I dove in and swriched to Dish, I remember a discussion on here regarding recording an in-progress recording.
IIRC, someone stated that if you are watching a program and hit record, it will only record from that point forward unless you first rewind the show and start the recording from there....
That isn't the way it's working for me now (records episode from start if I was on the channel when it began...).
So if it was that way, it certainly isn't now... Just curious if someone can refresh my memory.
