A useful support message identifies the device, player, symptom and time. State what you expected, what actually happened and whether the problem affects one channel or everything. Keep passwords and complete playlist links out of public messages.
What matters here
“Nothing works” leaves several different faults mixed together. A login rejection, an empty guide and video buffering require different checks. A short sequence of observations is more useful than a long list of changes made without recording the results.

- List the one or two checks already tried and their results.
