zoom button on skybox f5

[mastel12]

Hello
I bought a skybox f5 from China. The zoom button brings me to the satellite list also I can only add favourite channels to favourite group 1. The unit arrived with a very basic instruction booklet. I wonder if I should bought from a different source. I really only wanted a hd pvr box so I have only heard about cline cams. The utube and u~~~~ apps appealed to me but I cannot get utube to work and u~~~~ appears to be geared to some other country Any help would be much appreciated. As you can see I kavent a clue about it all. Regards Mastel12

the zoom button doesnt work on any skybox/openbox,should be named channel list,and as for your fav list ,(put aj,s ) channel list on it,its got hd,sport ,movies,kids,fta, and so on,you can find what you need in the RED SECTION called stickys,and welcome to DK

Hi, I have just bought a plain (ie no "gift") F3 that is supposed to be a UK mode but it shipped from Germany and had no European sats loaded

The manual was the poorest of 3 boxes I have had so far near useless

The zoom button produces a channel list despite what it says in the manual. My previous SD box (not Skybox) had a zoom button that worked correctly

I am still trying to figure out how everything works but I am very pleased with the sensitivity of the receiver and the quality of the pictures in both SD and HD and the PVR also appears to work very well,

I think it excellent for the price
