I have just purchased a f3 box,i am new to this,is there a section that can help me with wat I need to do

Look in the satellite section/Openbox/skybox all your answers are in there.
Good guide at the top by Shady to set the box up from start to finish.

Welcome to dk just be sure to read the rules if you post again theres only certain things we can talk about here.

Have you read the guide?

yes have read the guide,but as im new I just wanna knw wat I do when put box on,where and what files do I need

[andy91]

Most boxes come with firmware so no need to touch it.
All you need to do is add a channel list like Ajs which can be found in red stickies at the top.
In Shadys guide thats a broad guide for all Openbox/skybox.
Follow the guide you will only learn if you do it yourself.
Remember no talk about gifts on here.

cheers mate, do I just save the file onto my desktop then straight onto the usb??

[andy91]

First thing read the guide It will tell you to back your present settings incase you screw up.
You can keep that on your desktop if things don't work out.
Will tell you to dump any old channel lists and yes unrar the file and add to usb stick and straight into box.
Once loaded reboot box and channel list sorted.
Use that guide like a bible its got all your answers in there.

I am going through the guide and it says to find astra 1 and eurobird, it only says sky uk?? also not all channels are on there what I do

[sb18180]

astra is sky uk sat. what do you mean you are not getting all channels. a satbox alone wont get you all the channels

[digitalsingh]

personally I would say follow the guide to upload firmware - most will come with sly channel list on it. then if channel list does not meet your needs look to download JUST a new channel list and then upload that. Once you have that done you should have FTA channels working no issues - then you need to add your line in order to get all other channels working.
