    Pulling the smart card or pressing the power button for 10 seconds is considered a soft reboot or reset... Unplugging and waiting 10 seconds is considered and hard reboot or reset..

    Just to clarify for anyone who cares.....I pulled the smart card from my system and nothing happened. When I put it back in, the Hopper rebooted. And no, doing this did not fix my thumbnails.

    The smart card has to do with decrypting the sat signal and receiver authorization so no, it won't fix software-related issues to pull it.

    By the way, looks like Dish is aware of the thumbnail issues according to this post :-

    Get rid of this ad below, as well as the link redirect by becoming a Supporting Pub Member


    So hang tight it'll probably be fixed in the next software release.

    You're welcome . It's always good to bug Dish as much as possible about these things since they "bug" us so much with each new release .
