The power outage stopped Signal Protector from kicking back in, currently it lasts until a reboot of the Hopper, we are working to improve that in the next release.
When you say it locks up what behavior are you seeing?
All the the issues with trick modes (skip/FFwd/Rwd) are close to releasing to customers.
How often is it getting stuck on the Home screen? In that state does pressing Home button do anything?
Thank you for your patience as we work out...
