Well I am about to go on my 3rd Edge in just a couple of months.

Box 1 crashed on first boot with a fatal error. It did a self repair and worked fine for almost a month when it suddenly would not tune half my channels and then got stuck in an endless loop of reconfiguring itself like it had never been setup.

Box 2 also crashed on first boot with a fatal error and again repaired itself and worked only ok for three weeks. Needed to be restarted every few days and would reboot on its own almost daily. Final straw was last night when all channels started to freeze and go blocky despite the diagnostic showing a perfect signal and snr and no reported correctable or uncorrectable errors. My guess is the HD was finally giving up the ghost.

Box 3 is on its way and I fully expect it to crash on first boot. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

Box 3 has arrive and is up and running. It did not crash on boot like box 1&2 but did reboot all of a sudden about an hour after finishing setting it up.

One thing I noticed right away is the picture is much better than on box 2. Much sharper and way less noise. Box 2 was blurry and prone to macro blocking.

We may have a winner here.
