So I took a chance..... It works! Total time about 25 minutes! Pics included!
thomasjk, when you tried it did it just turn off the Hopper(put in standby mode, no light) or did it simply do nothing? Here is what happened to my setup a HWS.
Clicked Yes to continue as seen in pic 2 of my original post. That turned off the HWS(put in standby, no light). My TV blank, no screen that normally appears when my hopper is off.
After a minute or two I started getting the a combination of the normal idle screen and Hopper with Sling Starting Up... screen on the TV.
That was followed by the 061 screen where the progress bar progressed to conclusion and the screen then went blank after a few minutes.
A series off noise/snow screens then appeared along with a Please Wait Refresh in Progress 9999 screen several times. Took a few minutes.
Finally got what to me is a new idle screen. I waited an additional 15 minutes to be sure it was done(25+15).
Turned on the HWS and was greeted by a 1271C screen. I clicked view and everything was new.
The current software level U224.
Now to explore this whole new world......
