You need to speak to your service provided about the service your getting. He/She should be able to advise further and do relevant checks.

[singh1234]

is there anything I can do first to make sure????

[yellowking]

If you've done a factory reset you will have deleted the line unless you backed it up first.

Your provider might have gone down they will be your first port of call.

All you should need to to do your end if the Server goes down is check all cabling is secure and reboot router and decoder.

You don't need to touch the F3 or it's settings as they are robust little boxes.

oh no yes I did do factory reset,how do I get the lines back??? I did not back up

[andy91]

That's why you should always do a back up of Skybox as you lose everything.
Contact the guy you bought it off that's your only hope.
