    Ok, so I"m watching tv on my hopper here at 1:40 in the morning. Picture goes blank, hopper tries to start up a few times but to no avail. I'm too tired to get up so I just lay in bed and observe. A screen comes up mentioning important updates and the green download bar loads. Then a screen...

    autohop when watching ptat between hoppers

    This has probably been mentioned, but I couldn't find it. If hopper 1 records ptat, and the next day I watch on hopper 2 I get the "use autohop question" but then the show doesn't autohop. Minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, but I was curious if that is how it is now and if a...

    Safe to hook phone cord to hopper ?

    Today at the end of my install the tech recommended that I not hook the phone line to the hopper, as he said even if there is a small power surge through the phone line the hoppers have shown to be very sensitive to this and are easily damaged. i can actually run my phone line through my surge...

    Cancel the service call ?

    I did do the power cord reboot yesterday. Maybe it was the nightly reboot. I was gone today at a college football game, so I hadn't tried the tv.
