I've seen this problem come up a few times, and wonder if it's more widespread.
Steps to create the problem:
1) Turn on the Hopper. Doesn't matter if it is recording something or not.
2) Start watching a recorded program.
3) Hit 30-second skip button.
At this point, the problem appears: Nothing happens at step 3. FF is likewise unresponsive. Menu and DVR buttons work normally.
The first time it happened, it was a program without commercials, so I just had the kids watch the first padded minute and go into their program. After about 10 minutes, playback locked and no button on the Hopper responded. Did a power reboot and everything was back to normal.
Second time it happened, I turned off the Hopper, turned it back on, went through the steps above again and everything worked fine. I didn't want a lockup issue because I was recording something.
Anyone else seeing this?
