well, the old hopper 2000 seems to have finally kicked it. Was working fine since the last time I "fixed" it back in January. This morning it had boot recovery 981 message. I tried the same "fix" by removing the tap from the line path to the hopper, but the download never takes. Just sits...

yep, sending a H2000. Will arrive tomorrow. I may just see about upgrading to a Hopper 3 soon. Now I gotta figure out how to send the replacement back, when they are expecting the old one being sent back.

so everything seems to be working fine again now with the same tap back in place. Is it known/normal for a tap to interfere with a bootstrap recovery download ?

I only has 3. Hopper downloaded firmware and started up fine! all recordings still there. I then put back in the tap to connect the Joey to the network and everything seems to be working again now. I talked to Dish Tech support twice today, none thought to mention to remove a tap in front...

yeah, tried that a few times this morning...guess I'll be called Dish back in a few hours

Anyone else getting a boot recovery warning 981 message on the original hopper (from 2012) (NOT a Joey) today? Been sitting with 0 progress bars for several hours now. Called dish support, 1st level tech said to wait at least 6 hours, then call back.
