Definitely a clone box (had the same mismatch error a while back on a m8s box)

Yep, just tried all of them...still file mismatch!!!

Here's another download site for clone boxes. If you scroll down it lists 2 lots of firmware for your box but according to this site you already have the latest version.

Tried that one BA!....no joy!!

[mickerick]

So if it won`t take either clone FW or proper FW, what can I do, or whats the problem, anyone?!

[P&D]

After a few days frustration, my F3`s set up, but, still can`t get any HD Sly Movies, Boxnation etc,...I`ve updated with AJ`s list, checked all the TP`s of the missing channels, and still nothing......am I missing summat obvious? I`m pretty well a newbie to it all!!

What are you getting on the channels ???

No signal ?? Could be the dish moved
Scrambled ??? Thepartwecannottalkabout

or saying nothing ????

[intel]

I cant see that you need to change the FW as it was working before and you get 70% of the channels? I would
check the signal level on the channels that you cant get and report back..................if the channel is there
and the signal level is ok, but you get the $ sign, then you need to look further
from the box and and does it still say that the box is online? (things we can't talk about)

[mickerick]

Still on line, and its "No Signal" that I get, and "invalid channel" as well!

[P&D]

sounds like the dish has moved....do you have the F3 running along side an official box ???

[mickerick]

No, its an oldish dish, not been used for a good while!!

No, its an oldish dish, not been used for a good while!!

Have you any friends with a dish that you could try it on?

Sounds like it could be the lnb on its way out.

[mickerick]

Yeah, a mate of mine has the same set up, I`ll try it on his....cheers!
