    Hello Guys
    Please can somebody please help me to set Skybox F3 up? I have done all I can and the channels I got apart from FTA all had $ sign on it. When I selected it, it says "Scrambled". Any idea on what to do? Everything is fine both connections and every other thing. The only problem I am having is those scrambled channels.

    There is nothing wrong with Aj's list, I have it working on two boxs no problems, has all the chans and in favs to, so not sure what your doing, you need to delete the existing chans on the box via the menu and then flash a new chan file, if ya don't it will cause problems, the boxs couldnt be anymore simple to flash

    Yip, you can also use the chan editor for the box also, you can make 25 changes, save it and then make more up to 25 etc,

    Guys
    My F3 was working OK until I updated the firmware. Then the connection to the server started breaking up every now and then. I have re-installed the old firmware but still having same issues. Is it possible for the Firmware to be affecting the connection to the server?

    Try a different USB stick and make sure you can see the file on it when the USB is on your laptop or PC.

    Random question...

    Unless the internet connection to an F3/5 is encrypted is it not possible for an ISP to track use of a box?

    Hi, I'm not very technically minded, have two f3 boxes and am learning my way round them! One box is working fine, but the other isn't! It keeps saying 'no signal'. It definitely has internet connection, and has the same channels update as the other box, so I'm at a loss as to what to do next! I would also like to change the date and time to the correct, current ones, in case I ever want to set to record something ... Can anyone help me? Thanks!

    Hi,

    I just got a Skybox F5. I flashed with a wrong firmware and when I reboot, I get an error message E0001.
    How can I reset the demo with factory defaults? Are there keys on the demon when I reboot it? What other way?
    Where can I get an updated firmware to update the demo by USB?

    Thanks.

    Courtesy of MICKAH,
    and i dont really understand how people can bugger there boxes, i have an f5 incase my dm800 fails, its simply install cccam, and enter cline, unless i am missing a trick
    http://www.yojiatech.com/a/Support/Download/Skybox_F3/
    f3,f5,f5s is basically the same box
