    Default skybox f3 scrambled after update channel list ????

    hi all , i recently updated my skybox f3 to the latest channel list using usb stick and guide on AJs site .
    the new channels now appear on the channel listing but unless the channel is free to air they are all coming up as scrambled . i have tried to update the list a few times but same result
    does anybody know of a fix to this problem please ???? i feel like tearing my hair out off work for a week with no sports channels

    Are you certain you only updated the channel list and not everything else?

    To check if your dchp is set to on or whether secret ingredient is on you need to get into the network settings, to get into the network setting you have to press menu on the remote then press 6666 to access secret menu.

    Hi all, this is my 1st post.

    I have the same problem, I have just had my F5 installed, wanted a channel list and downloaded AJ's, and followed the backup instructions. I had problems getting the channels working, etc, but once completed I cant access any of the channels with a $, and some others, only a few working. I have DCHP on, and pretty sure other is too, I can see it in hidden menu. Before i attempted to update channel list I had sports, etc, so pretty sure its something I've done, any advice would be great.

    the satbox and channel list alone only gives you free to air channels. hidden menu can be found highlight the globe network local settings and press 6666

    Yes there not working either, some are and some arent, e.g. bbc 1, 2 and channel 4 ok, ITV and 5 no signal. They were all working before I tried adding channel list but now they've gone too, which is why I believe it must be something I've done, but cant think what
