when i first got one of these boxes and opened the parcel the box when first powered up had the menu on screen and it said no channels, so i had to go through the menus to find the sattellite installation menu, in there i added astra to the list of sats then had to go to channel search to do a scan, this dragged all the astra channels in then i had to stick a channel list and my gift line on the box as well as configure the network stuff... ive tried to include everything i have had to do below... hopefully its pretty close to how it really is!!
ajs list: sure you can now find it in stickies

how do I put this list on to my box?
Firstly, before any upgrade you should always backup!
How do I backup?
Make sure your USB is plugged in then navigate to;
> Menu > Tools > Dump by USB
> Change Dump Mode to "Misc File"
> Click on "Select and Dump"
> Select "TP_PROG.dbs" so it has a tick next to it then press yellow to "Dump onto USB", this will backup your channel list.
> To backup your Server/Gift whatever you want to call it just select the "CCcam.cfg" or newcamd.list file as well as "TP_PROG.dbs", do both together.
to back up the entire image choose image in the menu then dump to usb
> The required backup should now be on your usb stick, make sure to move it to your pc or be careful not to delete it.
Will updating my channel list effect my server settings etc?
No, your channel list is the only thing that's affected but it's always wise to backup just in case as problems can happen. This is for channel lists only, firmware updates erase everything.
Why are my favourites not named correctly?
Favourites only retain their name if you upgrade a whole image, for channel list upgrades you'll need to manually change them in the Openbox menu with your remote.
how do i rename the favorites?
note similar for other boxes too, but if your menu is slightly different use a little trial and error it will be similar:
skybox :
Select favourites edit
> red button group
> select satellite
> select channel and highlight with ok button
> press fav button
This will display favourites group lists
> move down to group required
> press change button to right
> press ok button
i could go on and list slightly different methods for each box but this is long enough as it is, and the variations will not be too dissimilar to the above for your box.
How do I edit the order of the favourites?
dont try..
The file is corrupted, not found or won't download
Have you unzipped it? If that's not the issue try downloading with a different browser/device, make sure your zip program is working correctly or use a different USB stick.
Some HD channels won't tune in or have low signal.
You might need to do a transponder/full scan to try & find a duplicate channel with a stronger signal, if that doesn't work I'd change the firmware & if you're still having issues you might need to slightly realign your dish (not recommended if you don't know what you're doing).
Which boxes is this list compatible with?
Skybox/Openbox S9, S10, S11, S12, F3, M3, X3, F4, F5 AnD NEWER BOXES, basically any box that uses the same file format (.dbs)
to add a cline or nline: cannot openly discuss patsy clines on this forum but pm me for more info (add info for what your asking for as i get lots of pms about other stuff too)
Turn on F5, let it boot up and put USB in the back
Using remote control, press Menu ---> Network Local Settings
type 6666 on remote and a hidden menu called camds should show up in the network menu, do not go into the network menu completeley just have it showing on screen before typing 6666
Select Camds Setup -->ok ---> mgcam Client Setup --> ok
Select Update Files by USB
Select newcamd.list (which is your Nline that is located on the root of your USB) assuming your server sent you the file, if not ask them if they can or make one yourself using your own nline.
Then you have options to Add or Read or Cancel
add this then exit and reboot.
the line is added and activated by doing it this way.
for cccam or clines change the above to cccam client etc etc
to check network settings. go back into network menu click on network settings, you want ethernet to be active (green) make it active if it isnt, if it wasnt the box will reboot, your not done yet! when rebooted go back into network menu and choose network set up again, now choose under ethernet settings/menu, go into here and turn dhcp to on, save and exit.
reboot again. your box should now connect to the net and decrypt the channels for you.
please note, please read the whole of above before attempting any updates, there are other tutorials which will help you to update too, it might be wise to read through a few so you get the jist of how easy it is before you start, any changes to boxes can make them not run well or crash so follow the back up advise above,, you cant blame anyone but yourself for not doing this!
if things on your box are slightly different then make changes to the above guide to fit your box, its pointless you asking why step 7 isnt the same as your box.. i cant really write a guide for every single firmware thats out there and every single box, unless someones offering to buy me every single box and id be happy to write set up guides for each one then!
so basically read the above, go through your box and twiddle with the guide a little to suit, remember back up your lines/gifts. if not i cant help you get it back.
hope this little guide helps some of you who seem to be really new to this hobby, i read above some very basic stuff that some are asking questions about,, the trick is with this hobby would be to read about the box you will be buying before buying it, not buying it then realising you havent a clue and then come along to somewhere like this forum and ask questions that answer themselves if you look around the forum.
you help yourself and we are happy to help you help yourself but we are not ehre to babysit people that just wants some guy to come to their house and plug it all in , pay them 20 quid and thats it, this is a hobby and everyone should learn at least the basics before filling these forums with the same questions, not that i mind but regular users get frustrated reading the same thing over and over when newbies do not do thei research first. we are here to help and guide not do everything for you.
hope the above helps some of you,,, remember theres a thanks buttong for a reason !!
