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

[goaliebob99]

does this not include widgets? I have seem to lost them.

 

[goaliebob99]

I like to send them prior to sending a CE as the box has atleast a weeks worth of history behind it for D* to sort through..

Getting audio pop's and cutouts via toslink...

 

[grydlok]

I had to edit my network services and now my daily fortunes are back.

 

[dfergie]

Menu reset cured the audio problem...

I am still having problems with the REPEAT SEARCH function. First time problem occurred was last week's CE and same thing with this weeks. When I do a repeat search it just searches and searches, when working correctly results are displayed in seconds.

I reverted back to the National release and the repeat search function works perfect. So there is no doubt for me it's something with the CE release.

I have the HR21 and I'm using a 1TB External Drive.
