**P&D** · 4th October, 2013, 10:47 PM

Right where shall we start ...as a good man said at the beginning......

There seems to be a lot of people lets say (politest way i could think) thats not got many post's & don't come on DK until there's a problem with missing channel's.... back on the forum asking questions again) No disrespect intended its just a fact...

Our friendly provider from where we all get our tv....has changed a lot of frequency's & by all accounts many more in the next few days & weeks to come...I.e no signal on many channel's picture vanished....

Help yourself like this learn to do this & then you will know what to do if it happens again....or pay the bloke next door to come round & do it everytime...

The next steps will help you get your channel's back...depending on the experience you have with your box.....

1. you can upload a new channel list to the box......here are two great one's that the providers spend there spare time correcting for you so you don't have to......

AJ's Sky UK Channel List **Only** Thread - Updated Regularly & Sattv5 Sky Numbered Channel List **Only** Thread

these are updated all the time......how do you load them i hear you say......
Download the file & don't for get to say thx TO Aj or Sattv5 (bottom left THANKS button) for the people that provide us with the channel list's

Download winzip install it....then click on the file above you downloaded unpack it to your desktop on the computer
The file name is TP_prog
Get a usb stick....copy the file to the stick

Now before doing anything Delete All Channel's from the box ...Menu/channels/delete all/restart the box ..when the box restarts it should disply No channels......don't panic it should do this...

Now plug the stick in the F/Open/X/ box
On the remote press menu /then find update by usb/click ok
at the top press sideways on the remote till you see Misc file
press start then highlight TP_prog/press ok it should put a green tick at the side
press the yellow button on the remote wait till the box does its thing
then reboot the box......full channels back

2. update the channels one by one .....4 easy steps.....How to fix missing channels for the newbies

Trial & Error is the only way to learn.......help yourself & gain the knowledge then you can help others

Great tut but I only hope you get the thanks you deserve. Going by a lot of the new posts that arise when there's a change its a shame they don't do more leg work instead of us making it very easy for them by spoon feeding them all. Andy.

Totally agree m8 then they would know how to

...but i was told not long go...by ....one of the mod's...(we all have to stat somewhere which i agree .. just as i did when i had 3 post's & everyone helped me)

so i hope it help's & does not clog up the forum to the brim

Life without DK i would have to talk to the MRS

wont get lost m8 av stickied it, for now, if it gets used it will remain there, but as theres quite a few stickys in this forum if its not used it will go back, but imo peeps who put time and effort into some thing like this deserve to have their thread "visable"

The downside with the Skybox and fleebay is the market is being saturated and its now not a hobby its a plug and play brigade. With the current changes the power that be will shut it all down. They wont like what's happening. Before it wasn't such a big problem but soon there will be more unofficial receivers out there than original boxes. Shame really was better when it was more underground yet even with a simple box we get flooded by so many of the same annoying questions. Andy.
