      Make sure it's an F5 and not F5s.

      Have you tried YojiTech maybe use a different browser if you have.

                  Sorry did you try YojiTech or the other one for clones?

                  Also, did you try using a different browser?

                  With regards to only being able to watch FTA now... That's something we can't discuss here but you should have backed up things first like channel list, provider/gift, etc and then you could have restored them. Can you ask your provider

                      Visit the YojiTech website I posted earlier using a different browser than one you usual one.

                      I've amended my last post re watching things other than FTA.

                          If it's a clone I've read you get "mismatch" error message.

                          I've just uploaded the latest F5 firmware here (I have tested personally on my F5 for months) but not sure if it will work on F5 clones.

                            Thats because the latest one it not for your box, the one you installed from hddvbsw.com worked ok, so you have a clone box,
                            the firmware that installed ok is dated 18th May 2013 and is the latest for that box...why do you need to install a newer firmware?
                            I have been using this firmware and it very stable.

                              thanks for your time mate...but that firmware is dated on 23-01-2013 as i check on system information after installing.its not dated as 18th may2013.i want to install new firmware because my youtube app is not working as i watch some time some programs ...
                              firmware is working fine apart from youtube.
