Work around for H3 Home Screen start-up.

[papato6]

I found a way to get around the home screen start-up. I set the standby timeout to off and only turn off the TV and leave the Hopper on. But since the Hopper 3 still has to shut off every night for the update, first thing in the morning it would come on at the home screen. So, set up an auto tune for some time prior to when you normally wake up (in my case it's set to auto tune to HLN (Ch202) at 5am.)

Man, you must really hate that home screen in order to do this.

I use the same trick to push the update out a few hours since I stay up late. I set a manual timer to record a sirius channel from midnight to 4 , then I set the limit to only 3 shows to save HD space.

He would not be alone in those feelings.

Witness the #1 or #2 item on nearly every post in the "What Three Things" thread.

I don't care for it either but I can put up with it till its gone. Pressing one button isn't hard.
