hi,
no matter who's channel list I put into a friends v8 box, the box then sticks on "load" resulting in having to re flash the box, any ideas ???????

Hi It seems to me that your problem could be either faulty patch or faulty box. Try doing a blind scan instead of loading channel lists and see it it works. Or try different patch

Thanks nutandbolts for your reply and let me apologise now, but I am new to all this so I'm not familiar with all the terminology, so not sure what you mean by patch ��
I tried to update channel list and it stuck on load so I flashed box with the original firmware I had saved, it stuck on load with all the channel lists I tried, I then flashed with firmware from skybox and still the same result, I also tried putting the firmware updates in but when I tried to update it came up mismatch. I have done a blind scan and I get all the channels.
Thanks for any help ��

Hi. Thats ok ..we all have to start from the beginning. A couple of points for you to note.
1) After the blind scan are the channels working??

2) If you get a mismatch message it usually means that you are trying to load an incorrect patch/firmware. A patch is same as firmware..it basically updates your box with a new memory. To see what firmware you are currently on you need to go into menu and look for System Information and it will tell you under software version.

Hope this helps you if not let us know.

Hi nutsandbolts, yes after a blind scan all channels work.

Hi.. In my opinion if all channels are working then nothing wrong with the box. You may have loaded a corrupted channel list. I personally never tend to download other people's channel list but prefer to do blind scans and then sort out the channels in the order i want. If people wish to copy other's channel list they have a right to do so of course. The software version looks pretty good to me as it appears to be a recent one. Have a nice day.
