Can someone tell me what the "Auto Fix MRDVR" will do?

Verizon techs have given me different answers on this. One said I will lose recordings on the DVR. He also said that it effectively reformats the DVR so it will not recognize my external drive after running the auto fix. Another said it is basically just a reboot and doesn't do anything. Has anyone with an external eSata actually used the auto fix recently (with the latest version if that will make a difference) and can tell me what it does and doesn't do? Will I lose recordings, settings, series programming, etc?

My DVR is rebooting itself every day at exactly the same time. If I reboot manually, it will automatically reboot 24 hours from that time. Since it is always exactly 24 hours from the previous reboot, it seems to be a programming problem not a bad box (which is always Verizon's answer). Sleep timer is set to Never. Verizon says there is no programming on their end, so Auto Fix is the only thing left to try. Thanks

It does not reformat the DVR and you will not lose your recordings. I've used the tool many times when the thing started acting weird and have never lost a recording or had the DVR "reformatted." (And yes, I have an external HD attached.)
