Another thing to try is to replace the power supply.

i don't think so, cause the box turn on and keep loading all the time
its tottaly new i try to upload the channel list via pc program (editor)

Sometimes this can be caused by a short in the LNB cable. Does the box do the same if you remove the LNB cable?

As mahrkpat says, it could still be the PSU. The extra load of the LNB being activated at the end of the start up sequence could cause the PSU to trip.

Try disconnecting the feed from the dish,then turn on box,see if this makes any difference.

Download the .abs file from SkyBox | SkyBox re-flash box, do not connect the satellite coax to the box and it will load up. will take several attempts to load. Then connect coax.

@ Kamil1985 you should have deleted the channels in your box first before uploading your new ones ,was it working ok before you did this ?

I second the thought it could be the power supply, I've had the same thing happen with mine.

Just kept reloading over and over.

I then replaced it wit a power supply from my old Netgear Router and the thing has been fine ever since.

Also, I would recommend if flashing with the RS232, remove all cables from the Skybox, just use the power supply alone, you'll know if its successful from the display if it passes L100.

What happens when you tried flashing it?

Did you receive any error messages or did it say that the flash was succesful?
