Dummies guide skybox f5

[JamesBob1991]

I've had this box for a few years with no issues regularly updating through AJ's channel list. An old friend set the box up for me. However have recently moved house & have took the box with me, got a sky dish fitted on this house & have had to wait for wifi which was fitted today. I have fitted it all (correctly I think) & downloaded the recent update but every channel apart from 1-5 is showing as 'scrambled'

Does anybody have a dummies guide or advise as to where I'm going wrong?

Much appreciated.

Have you put your magic code back in via the menu.

[JamesBob1991]

No? Also no idea what the magic code is?

Have you fitted a wifi dongel to the box ?

[dunno87]

I can't say as its against the rules, but I'll try explain somehow.

The magic code you get from your magic supplier to watch TV channels.

That may need re-entering to watch TV....

I have got an Ethernet lead from the box to the router

I have got an Ethernet lead from the box to the router

It takes more than a channel list & lead connected to your router

there is another part that your missing.....the part that clears the channels......google this

Talking about it is against the rules.....

Easy way to find out........

goto the menu
^ams setup
^^^am
Manage ^^^am
if you don't see anything in there.......you have a FTA box only
