Where did you get this firmware from?.

[yasminandrio]

This is not from skybox.cc which I would of thought it would be if its for OEM boxes? But also the site might have been hacked this morning!! Umm Murdoch comes to mind!!

[yasminandrio]

Name of sw and name of new member!!

[ellis4567]

Ahh so this is from a clone box called memobox.

Has any body else tried this?

I have been trying this today for an update on a new f5s, what is support view XMLTV? If I go into the "system setup" there is no "EPG and time setting"

[JO3K]

Works great on my F5s

[edevs]

[yasminandrio]

To be fair ive just used the skybox.cc one and it work great so sorry for my early comments, it must have just been put on skybox.cc around 6ish tonight as checked earlier and not there! But works a treat and I'm putting it on the boxes from now as its the nuts.

Whats the right way to put this on box once file downloaded?

[edevs]

just upgrade by usb?

[DW190]

just upgrade by usb?

extract the rar file then upgrade the .abs by usb.

[edevs]

says will restore to factory settings will i lose sealion channel lists? how /will i back up everything?

[MemoPrince]

TRY THIS ONE, I HEARD THIS ONE FIXED A BUG ... I TRIED ON MY F5S IT'S PERFECT.

[yasminandrio]

I have never lost anything when I've put new sw on any of the boxes I do even when I recover them. Just press 6666 or 0000 and its back on.

[crude]

I've updated my F5s and notice that the EPG works for everything else other than sky movie channels.

Does anyone else have this quirk?

[yasminandrio]

I noticed this yesterday but the movie list were on for the next 6 days not got any pluged in yet but like I said I did notice ths... But still is a massive leap forwards to where t was Monday!,

[slobo2712]

New software completely useless every time you change channels you have to use exit button on the remote.

[cornorth]

just done the update and my box is stuck on load - downloaded from the skybox.cc website - would appreciate any help and support - thanks

Fixed what bug? Where did you found it? What's the difference between this Fw and the ones that skybox.cc or Yojia supplies? Thx

[MemoPrince]

There is no difference. Because MEMOBOX is sub-brand of SKYBOX. And I got from it's official web also.

This web sometimes release new s.w. faster than SKYBOX and YOJIA.

I agree..... retrograde for me...so I reverted to the previous SW to restore the old channel list

[bigade1]

There was no need to revert to the previous software. If you had read the upgrade instructions you would have found that all you had to do was to enter the Micro Panel menu and change the option in the newly added GUI submenu from WHOLE to 3 and this would have given you the old style channel list.

[dj1978]

bit of a bummer not having new firmware updates for the f3' having these new features is nice but half the time they cause more trouble than enough' these box's just to say cope' i have got the trusty 1st scooby snacks image on my F3 from june 2012 & works just fine very stable.

that's what i hate about the new firmware having to exit out each time you change channels its annoying' i stuck with scooby snacks on my f3

[slobo2712]

What will happen if i try to install this on F3? tnx in advance

[alevradio]

ive looked at mthe menu on my f5s but cant find "EPG and time setting" anywhere? can anyone help please?

[nokturnuk]

Its the 4th one down in system setup. Language - tv system- display setting- epg and time setting

[MyB5]

ive looked at mthe menu on my f5s but cant find "EPG and time setting" anywhere? can anyone help please?

Maybe you have the same image as I have (Yojia), not downloaded from S*ybox.cc. Because I have the same "issue" as you. My EPG settings are under "Tools", 4th meny, that starts with "Information". There I can choose to have epg data from Sat, Internet or manual.

Maybe images from Yojia and S*ybox.cc and others are buildt slightly different...?

[MemoPrince]

Cannot, If you load this sw in F3, your F3 will die.

[alevradio]

Hi MyB5, under my tools menu, I have information as the 1st, then factory settings, ca slot setting, then upgrade by usb, im a bit of a newbie to all this, any idea wha ti do next ?

[MyB5]

@alevradio
I think you might have an older image. My one is from 2013-11-19. If it's there, it's at the buttom of the same page as Information.

[alevradio]

Not got it mate, last option on that page is "remove usb device safely".

[MyB5]

Not got it mate, last option on that page is "remove usb device safely".

Then we don't have the same image...or box?? This is the firmware I use. But I can't guarantee it's good for your box. This is fw from Yojia. Use on your own risk. Unpack, load to your usb and flash. But FIRST, dump on to your usb backups of all your settings. Start with Backup.abs, then save on to pc, then back up your TP-PROG.dbs and your config files. Flash new image, then add your old TP-PROG.dbs and config files. Good Luck!

Even if you do use the GUI and go Whole to 3 the channel info ... date and time just shows ?? ?? ?? and ???? characters instead of the date and time as is.... whether there is a means to sort it via a menu or not, if you press info button twice when on a channel.... the box reboots.... still sticking with the November release

[bigade1]

That's strange. I don't get any of those symptoms happening on my box. Perhaps you should try using the Official Skybox software to see if it cures it. I believe the OP of this software did post a renamed version of the official software further on in this same thread stating that it cures some bug. Maybe, that was the bug. Here's a link to my upload of the official software if you want to try it:

Works well,but like others, the movie channels don't show any info.Has anyone found a fix for this??

Well they're working ok on mine but, as stated previously, I'm using the official software.

[pricecelt]

[dowlinr]

Can anyone upload a vid of the new firmware and epg in operation? I'd like to see it first before taking the plunge. Thanks in advance

[genam]

the new image file does very little to the box beyond adding the EPG...there is an even newer image that looks like it ties the EPG into the record timer.
As long as you confortable using the USB for doing updates this is straight forward.
Downloading and installing the EPG the 1st time takes about 10 minutes all in...most of it spent writing the info back to the pendrive / external HDD.
The EPG is not perfect and some channels details randomly come up blank..no info etc but it worth a try

U can try new s.w. today release, i check by myself it's working better.

I tried the new firmware from 24/12 and while it might work fine if you use the internet for EPG if like me you don't use the internet at all and work with 2 LNB's for different satellites and use the EPG there....the record is broken... you can set the timer up even in advance but it doesn't even switch over to record...so back once again to the reliable 17/11 release...which is working for timer recording, it's doing the 3rd one today.....without a glitch... I guess with all the effort for internet epg they messed the software for the satellite epg for us on 19.2
I have 28 as well but have a tv guide for that and I don't have or want Sly channels via sealion kit

[martin-f]

No probs with 19.2 here works very well.

237105237106
I have zero issues with reception on 19.2 and 28.... just the new sw update has messed up the satellite epg recording up....
As I don't need/want the internet or it's EPG so I have slipped back to the 17/11/13 SW as it works faultlessly
19.2 has a 7 day epg anyway unlike the 28 where you get now or next.... on the 17/11 sw you can still program ahead....just use a TV magazine/supplement

[martin-f]

I will be reverting back to the old f/w its better for zapping I don't need epg as I only feed hunt with this box.

[bobhope1]

anyone care to give me instructions on how to fix the issue with the movies not appearing in any shape or fashion on the epg list
thanks

[super jumbe]

You must live USB stick in the box all the time and try rebooting the box after update.

[bobhope1]

aye, all sorted tested it this morning and it had rectified itself, it must have done an auto update during the night.

How does auto update work? At what time channels are auto updated? "Need update" appears on my f5s but auto update does not seem to occur. Manual update always seem to take about 10 minutes.

[beggsy21]

If you have set the button to auto update 'on' then the epg will update as soon as you put the box into standby. Display will show 'EPG-'

[amah1]

The behavior is quite strange. Auto update was "on" and epg was not being updated. Last Friday I turned auto update off and then on, put the box in standby mode and the epg was updated automatically. The epg needed update yesterday and I put the box in standby mode and epg was not updated. It only worked if turn auto update off and then on.
