What box and which update have you tried? As P & D said all the channel updates work.

Quote from AJ from his thread.

FAQ

How do I put this list on to my box?

Firstly, before any upgrade you should always backup! Once you've done that;

1. Unzip AJ's List XX-XX-XX.zip with a program such as winrar & place the TP_PROG.DBS file onto the root of your USB drive.
   
2. In the Openbox menu delete your current channel list by going to the "Edit Channel" tab & selecting "Delete All".
   
3. Staying in the menu navigate to the "Tools" tab then "Upgrade by USB", change the upgrade mode from "Image File" to "Misc Files" then "Select & Upgrade" & select "TP_PROG.DBS" then press yellow, if all done correctly it should begin to upgrade.
   
4. Once the upgrade has completed restart your box & voil?!

How do I backup?

Make sure your USB is plugged in then navigate to Menu > Tools > Dump by USB > Change Dump Mode to "Misc File" > Click on "Select and Dump" > Select "TP_PROG.dbs" so it has a tick next to it then press yellow to "Dump onto USB", this will backup your channel list. To backup your Server/Gift whatever you want to call it just select the "CCcam.cfg" file instead of "TP_PROG.dbs". To backup your whole image "Dump to USB" before changing the dump mode. The required backup should now be on your usb stick, make sure to move it to your pc or be careful not to delete it.


Will updating my channel list effect my server settings etc?

No, your channel list is the only thing that's affected but it's always wise to backup just in case as problems can happen. This is for channel lists only, firmware updates erase everything.


Why aren't the channels in the same order as my Sky box?

I put the channels in the order that I feel is the most efficient & simplest to use. There are plenty of Sky ordered lists if that's what you prefer, Sattv5's list is the best I've seen (LINK).


Why are my favourites not named correctly?

Favourites only retain their name if you upgrade a whole image, for channel list upgrades you'll need to manually change them in the Openbox menu with your remote.


How do I edit the order of the favourites?

The only simple way would be to use SetEditHD100 (LINK), the program isn't free but It'll let you make 25 changes before it stops working.


The file is corrupted, not found or won't download.

Have you unzipped it? If that's not the issue try downloading with a different browser/device, make sure your zip program is working correctly or use a different USB stick.


Does this list have 'X' channel?

The list should have every channel including all Radio, Box Office & Red Button services.


How can I make my own list?

Firstly you'll need a channel editor, PVR800 editor is the simplest option, I've attached the .DBS version to the bottom of the post. Then you'll need a list to edit, either mine/someone else's which would be the best option or you could do a fresh scan yourself & edit the backup up file. The satellite info you need to edit lists is at KingOfSat. It looks complicated but it's pretty self explanatory, check out other specific threads on the subject or ask questions in this one if you have any issues.


Which boxes is this list compatible with?

Skybox/Openbox S9, S10, S11, S12, F3, M3, X3, F5, F5S + more. The X5 is incompatible, the S16 can use this list but needs exporting with the editor as .udf instead of .dbs.

on most ov the hd channels don't work no signal

I will ask the same questions that have been asked many time's maybe a few 1000's time's

Do you have an original box connected at the same time ???
What box do you have
Wired or wireless (connected)
was there a problem with the channels before the update ??
have you changed the firmware ??
Have you checked the cable's are ok........

There's a few to start....the more info you give the easier its is to help without playing a guessing game......and then the thread becomes 5-6 pages
long

Hi I'm having the same sort of problem with my mates F5 boxtried to update with the misc files but its not picking the TP_PROG.dbs at all, I've reset it to factory settings with no luck, tried deleting all the channels but it still cant see the file. I've updated the .abs file easy enough with a 3601HD_Backup.abs but its still the same. I have unzipped and placed the .dbs file on the root of the USB stick using various files from AJ and sattv5s but it doesn't pick up any of them so there is nothing to select. I even tried a couple of different USB sticks. Any ideas?

Sometimes it can be the sticks, try formatting the stick, select fat 32 .
then put your files on .

When you highlight TP_PROG.dbs are you remembering to press OK (or green button to ADD) before pressing the yellow button? This will place a tick next to TP_PROG.dbs.
