If you had configured the box with network and enabled ssh before upgrading to 8.0.2, then you should try ssh to the box. There was an issue when going from OE6 or LE7 to LE8 where the display goes blank, basically Kodi 17 hangs.
The solution for that was to ssh to the box and move .kodi to .kodi.old and reboot
Thanks, going to give that a try.
