    Hopper kind of dead

    We were watching ESPN last night and the picture was very unsteady. It would skip every few seconds regardless of the channel. Tried a red button reboot and it was even worse. No audio and large gaps in the video. Unplugged the unit for 5 minutes and it shows the restart hopper screen and then goes black. Both Joeys work ok and can even play back recordings.

    Anyone experience this before?

    When I got home, the tv was showing the Android icon, frozen on the screen. I rebooted the Google TV box and everything was fine. Perhaps that was causing the glitches last night.

    I disconnected my two GTV's, as well. They were causing too many issues, and haven't worked correctly since the last update.
    FYI:
    -It's "couldn't care less", not "could care less".
    -It's "would've", "should've", and "could've", not "would of", "should of", and "could of".
    -It's "voila!", not "walla!" (That's right. You've been speaking French all this time.)
    -The first word in each sentence should be capitalized.
    -A period goes at the end of each sentence.
    -Commas are also a good idea, on occasion.

    ADVERTISING BOX


    My Logitech Revue was causing my network to go offline at random times.

    I could ping a site and then at random time the ping would start timing out then return a few minutes later. Then stop again a few minutes later. When the ping would stop I would unplug the revue unit and internet would be immediately restored. If I plugged it in again it would happen again a few minutes later. By unplugging it this problem would not happen anymore. So keeping it unplugged and the problem has not come back.

    I did order one of those new Vizio google tv units.
