Hooper Starting Up Everyday at the Same Time

[jwill]

We have a Hooper with Sling, a wired Joey and a wireless Joey in our RV. (The reason we have a Hooper with Sling instead of a Hooper 3 is that the built in automatic dish only has two cables going to the RV.) Everyday at about the same time (3:30 EST), the Joey display 88888 and 99999 errors and says starting up. The display goes blank for about 2 second and then everything is good for another 24 hours. Today, I was at the Hooper at 3:30 and the Hooper displayed a message saying a new USB device had been installed (the Snap). The Hooper display went out for maybe 5 seconds.

Anybody have any ideas what's going on. The fact that it only happens once a day at the same time, and only causes an interruption of a couple of seconds makes the problem not serious, but I find it strange that it happens everyday at the same time.

Having too much trouble hearing "hooper" in my mind while reading this instead of hopper...

1. 1st, since you say EST, are you on Eastern Arc? In that case, 2 cables to a dph42 will give you H3 capabilities.
2. The normal time for a reboot of my J3's is shortly after 3AM. This takes much longer than 5 seconds, though. So perhaps you are seeing something else I have never experienced.
