    SKYBOX F5HD CHANNEL LIST LAYOUT PROBLEMS, HELP!!

    i just recently got a F5 box and its perfect. But the layout of the order in which the channels are listed has changed, it has gone from the normal sky (BskyB) layout to alphabetical order (in the sports folder for eg normally it was sky sports 1, 2,3 then 4 just how it would be on a normal BskyB box but now it starts with All star sports, and goes in alphabetical order so it is harder to find the channel i want.) One way to move them is by doing it manually but that would take forever. Does anyone have a quick solution?!

    Press the ok button on your remote, then the red button, the select All, press ok then exit the menu
    hopefully that should fix it

            Just in case your not sure how to install a new channel list: Thanks to AJ for these useful instructions
            How do I put this list on to my box?

            Firstly, before any upgrade you should always backup! Once you've done that;


            1. [*=1]Unzip AJ's List XX-XX-XX.zip with a program such as winrar & place the TP_PROG.DBS file onto the root of your USB drive.
              [*=1]In the Openbox menu delete your current channel list by going to the "Edit Channel" tab & selecting "Delete All".
              [*=1]Staying in the menu navigate to the "Tools" tab then "Upgrade by USB", change the upgrade mode from "Image File" to "Misc Files" then "Select & Upgrade" & select "TP_PROG.DBS" then press yellow, if all done correctly it should begin to upgrade.
              [*=1]Once the upgrade has completed restart your box & voil?!



            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" file instead of "TP_PROG.dbs". To backup your whole image "Dump to USB" before changing the dump mode. 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.

                normally you would do what I said to do in the first post and it should have gone back in order, so I am not sure why it hasn't
                To put into A to Z order you press the ok button then green then you select A to Z but normally when you exit the menu it automatically goes back to normal and does not stay as A to Z. Well at least for me it never has.

                    Press ok on the remote
                    press the red button
                    select A to Z from the list
                    select A then press ok

                    Press the red button again
                    select All
                    Press OK

                    Hopefully it should work now and be back to sky ordered

                      what do you mean by select A?
