it will be until u select a channel, then press ok or select.. whatever that big button is in middle of remote, i'll go dig mi old remote out and check lol and it will come up like the other pic

thanks for your time / advice

but when I press ok...big button in middle..the menu just disapears and that channel chosen is whats on.....maybe I misunderstand you.

On the F5S you have to change the GUI config;

EPG then 'All' then select the first channel then 'exit' out of the EPG
On the remote press 'M/P' then scroll to 'GUI Config' and change 'whole' to 'three' then press 'exit'
Press 'OK' the center round button and you should get the view you want

ayyy it doesnt does it, just dug openbox f5s out cupboard n tried it, on the older boxes it use to open up as i say but on the newer ones it opens the one colum up and if you press right it goes onto epg. stoopid idea that.. sorry mate, cant help you there im afraid, i think you can flash the f5s with the f5 firmware but not the other way round.. dont take my word for that though; wait and see if someone has tried and tested it post here to confirm it does work.
