I am on a trip and dish anywhere stopped connecting to my hopper today. Is there a way to reboot the hopper remotely? Att tells me my DSL connection is good.

DishAnyWhere.com used to have a place to reboot receivers with Sling Adapters. I don't know if the HwS has this feature too, but I'll bet it does. Of course if the receiver shows "offline", you can't do squat.

In the Dish Anywhere app, go to settings, DVR, receivers and there should be a reset button which will reboot the Hopper.

Your ADSL line may be ok but how about your router? I have never been successful rebooting the hopper when I could not connect. It was always necessary to reboot the router to correct the issue when I got home.
