Skybox F3

[burdo84]

I have a skybox, i've tried various test lines and configurations on my router, the c line will connect fine initially but after a time the servers will go offline and no longer connects, its almost as if they get blocked from passing through my router. I've tried rebooting my router and box, any help would be appreciated if anyone can help. I've run out of ideas i've tried everything i can think of, kind regards, Graeme

which isp are you with and do you have a limit. If you have free broadband with **y you get a 2gb limit for the month. I think its about a gig a day the boxes use.

you need tro stop using cs with s*y bb m8 as its very risky especially if watching uk tv,regards mdt

Check network settings and check dhcp is set to on.

[burdo84]

its definately on, i personally think its router related cos it was working intially then went off, its happened with 2 separate providers

[darcu5]

and don't worry about your download limits, they use next to nothing; unless of coarse you are watching youtube vidieos etc.

[darcu5]

probs the providers then.. can't really go down that road on here, but find a better one

[burdo84]

i know, it comes through the feed

[burdo84]

i've tried 2 providers tho and it was the same story for both, working initially then the connection drops after a few hours and doesnt come back on. Network is ok cos i can access youtube vids ok though its just the c lines that are offline

try

try puting the new software on the box the one with youtub app then run the app and see if it streams the picture if so its not your line hope this helps

thanks for the replies, i already connected to youtube zorro although i should have said that initially, i got another test which managed to stay online so i'll take it as an issue with the providers i used......thanks again all

test lines usually only last 24hrs and then they are cut off
