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

Contact who you subscribe to...... i had this problem its usually who you subscribe to not broadcasting the correct stufff...... most will tell you the correct channel list to use

[andy91]

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

P&d how do you check if its online offline or not

[mahrkpat]

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

[JayA1985]

Hi, thank you for quick reply, I am coming up as online on 6666 menu, yet most of channels are not working, even free to air ones aren't showing for me

[sb18180]

fta not working are they saying no signal

[JayA1985]

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

[sb18180]

you using more than 1 satbox?

[JayA1985]

No, just the one, got a virmin box upstairs, no $ly though

[JayA1985]

Hi, Ive put the old list back on and got my channels back, think I will just accept what I've got, thank you again
