I thought that this was only an issue that I had. It did this quite a bit on the Hopper 2. I would PM Dish a lot, because it would do it with my daughter's Super Joey. Finally, after so many problems, and many PM's on Facebook, Dish scheduled me another tech visit. Now, I have Hopper 3, and the installer did some more rewiring, and I am happy to say, that the black screen and shutting off is the thing of the past. Was it a problem with the Hopper 2? Or, was it the issue with the old wiring? It may have been both, but I am having maybe about less than 10 percent of problems. All may want to ask Dish about another possible issue with old wiring. It may or may not be the problem, but worth mentioning and a lot less headaches/lowered BP. Has anyone else, heard about YouTube being added as one of the Apps with the Hopper 3?
