Our friends at DIRECTV have told us that the diagnostic reports are incredibly helpful. Please submit one every time, if you are networked. Even if you have rebooted or if it has been hours or days, these reports can still help.

A reminder on how to use Network Diagnostics reporting:

To activate, do a Keyword search for IAMANEDGECUTTER

*** Network must be properly set up and working to use this feature ***

1. Use the Menu+Info keys on the DVR to get to the Misc Options screen
2. Select the Report option
3. Click on Send
4. Wait for it to finish
5. You will receive a confirmation key in your response.
6. *** Please include this key in any problem report you make ***
7. Please note that you can only send one report per hour
8. If you do not have a network connection, you will not have this option

Is it advised to send a report BEFORE downloading CE, or only if we encounter a problem?
