What would happen if Smart Card pulled from Hopper....?
So, I realize this is irrelevant to many here, but the lack of show thumbnails since the S221 update is really peeving me off. I have tried everything to get these to download or show up. Nothing works. Also, that border around my My Recordings folders now is annoying. Does anyone know what would happen if I pulled the Smart Card out of the front of the Hopper and rebooted, then put the card back in and rebooted? Would this force a re-download of the S221software?

The tech that came over for my hopper #2 install said something about the hopper being deactivated if the smart-card is pulled. He said if you pulled the card, you'd have to call in to have it reactivated.
He may have been full of BS .. can anyone validate?"It's never too late to be who you might have been." - George Eliot

It won't need to be "reactivated" unless it's been without power/signal for a while. If you pull the card out, you'll get an error, and once you put it back in the receiver will reset.

Matt...can you define "reset" for me? Do you just mean reboot? BTW...what, technically, does a reboot vs. a power plug pull do for these units? Does anyone know? It may have been mentioned somewhere before, but this is one thing I would prefer not to try and search for in a lengthy forum.
