    If you did factory reset without doing anysort of backup first then you have wiped out your "gift" , the only way you'll get that again is to contact your supplier...

    Always do a full backup of your box before changing settings or loading files to it...

          Its just a text file named CCcam.cfg
          You can create one with Notepad...

              Seems you learn by your mistakes,i never backed up the box,so the f4ree gift has gone,Emailed the guy who i bought it from on fleabay and he saying now there is no free gift when it says there was in his advertisement.Oh well looks like i have been had ..Just another quick question if i bought another box ie online working then could i copy the software from the working one to the one which isnt working to get it online?

                Why do you want to buy another box? Just get that one working, it's easy

                          If he's selling boxes with gift on eBay, he must be thick as shite, anyone could buy one, like some person from sly etc, then all his customers are ****ed.

                          If it's within the time to dispute with eBay, I would do that and get refund

                            Gazzaman, how much did you pay for this box? If you paid around 50 quid for it then I'd say you only bought a box, no gift... If you paid 100 quid or more for it then I'd say you bought a box with gift, so go back to your supplier and insist he sorts you out..
