Turn the box that works ok OFF at the wall

Then see if the box missing the channels goes ok .....I.e missing channels come back

Sounds to me like a signal issue. are you using a splitter? Check all your connections, spoke with someone the other day with the exact same issues, turned out to be a signal issue
Hope this helps

[trepca123]

i m using no splitter, i dont understand why for example skysport 1.2 is fine not 3.4.5,same with mtv hits yes not mtv clasic base , all this channels i get if i go to trasponder by alfabes serch, but not on favorite list ,

You need to delete the channel list off the box..........so when the box starts it has NoCH on the front of the box.

Then install Aj's latest list ........http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...=1#post2633407

Once this is done we can discount this.......& move on

[gary229]

install Cwaites channel list, had same issue with one of my friends and its done the trick

[trepca123]

no mine still not okey, you cant fix this never,i have this problem now in my friend box too,only option is to go outside favorite list and find in transponder ,now i m sure 100% no one can fix and i need new box ,never ever skybox

I have a f5s that has the same problem. I have reflashed this box with a number of firmwares all successfully
still the same problem exists. the box is the only one connected to lnb and ive tried another f5s with the same
info and it works.
when you do a blind search certain transponders fail and these are the ones with the missing channels.
whilst messing with box I found the power supply is critical when reflashing..ie it must be 2amp either 5v or 12v work.
and this is where im at with it. any suggestions peeps

So you have one f5s that on a blind scan finds all the channels and works ok, but you have another f5s that with the same firmware, used on the same satellite feed on a blind satellite scan doesn't find all the channels, sounds like to me that box is knackered, might be time to upgrade and get a better box.

it displays scrambled on certain channels but it appears to be on certain transponders

it displays scrambled on certain channels but it appears to be on certain transponders

Easy to find out if its the box......Simples

Download a backup of the good box onto a USB (full backup)
Then load this onto the box you having the problem with

See if that sorts the problem if its still the same then its what Martin said ~~~~ed box

Try the box on a fixed ip and change the DNS to googles. Preferred 008.008.008.008. Alternate 008.008.004.004
