    Skybox F3 multi-satellite settings - help needed

    Hi guys,

    My subscription recently expired & have done research to pay for & set up new subscription.

    One key thing though: my original subscription (& box settings) did a search of assorted satellite signals (not just Sky UK), & loaded other channels - very handy in the case of a channel like ATR as signal is weak on Sky UK, but was able to get this channel via one of other satellite feeds.

    To cut long story short, I added firmware as wanted more organised channel list etc, but this is now set up only with Sky UK, & in menu, when I go to multi sat search, only Sky UK shows up, none of the others.

    Is there any way I can retrieve the other satellite settings so it searches those as well?

    Many thanks.

    You could try this one not too sure on its age probably a couple of months old but it does have Multi Satellites.

      Manually add the other satellites you want into the satellite list then blind scan them...

          Apologies if this is a really stupid question but I'm a newbie at all this: once that channel list file is unzipped I am left with TP_PROG.dbs but it is only 1Mb in size - will this have the required data in it to load via USB to Skybox, or have I gone wrong with the unzipping?

            Once unzipped put onto a USB stick and upload to the F3

              Cannot open it!

              Hi,
              When I unzipped it, it extracted a file "Multi Sat TP_PROG" without an extension. So I manually typed the extension to become "Multi Sat TP_PROG.dbs". But when I tried to uploaded to the receiver, it did not work. It showed an error "File mismatch". I even tried to open it using "SetEditHD100" it could not open it either! Any help please!
              Thanks

                      I just re-downloaded this file extracted it which produced a folder called Multi Sat TP_PROG inside that folder is another folder called TP_PROG and inside there is the actual file itself TP_PROG.dbs

                      Regards
