Hopefully someone from DIRT will see this and help out, if not I will PM one of them when I see them on, but here goes:
I had a 1H/1J system installed Wednesday Morning, July 4. The install was completed around 11:30AM. Since it was the 4th of July I was off the rest of the day and had plenty of time to play with the hopper. I transfered all of my recordings off of my EHD to my Hopper, setup my timers again, watched some TV and played some pandora. The unit was working great. That night I watched some TV on my joey in the bedroom and it also worked great. Thursday, July 5, I played with the system a little more without any issues. My family and I went out of town that evening and just got back today, Sunday July 8. During that time I confirmed on the dish app on my phone and dishonline that my hopper was indeed recording stuff.
When I got home today at about 6PM. I noticed my Hopper power light was on. I thought it odd as I remember making sure to leave it in standby. When I turned my TV on all I saw from the hopper was a blue screen on my TV. I felt the top of the unit and it was very hot to the touch. I opened the front door and pressed the reset button. My TV immediately said "Searching for Signal" and I heard the fan on the hopper kick on for about 1 second (I remember it going for much longer when it was installed) and then kick back off. I let it sit for a while and nothing happened. I decided to unplug it. My kids watched Netflix through our Blu-Ray player and I left it unplugged for over an hour. When I plugged it back in the Green Power Light came on and the fan came on again for just 1 second and then turned off. About a minute later the unit seemed to reboot itself (during this time nothing ever appeared on the screen), the green power light flashed and the fan came on for 1 second and then back off. About 30 seconds later the screen on my tv went blue and nothing else happened, it just sat like that for 20 minutes. Never heard the fan again. So, I unplugged it from the wall and pulled out some RCA cables and plugged them in and changed the input on the TV. This time the same thing happend, but after it did an auto reboot the screen went black and stayed like that for 20 minutes until I unplugged it.
So, it seems as though I am having some serious hopper issues. I really hope to get this resolved soon as I was really enjoying my hopper and joey setup.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

S
when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something
Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?
