HOW TO SET UP SKYBOX f3

I guys
I have input a cline in this box but it keeps saying "no active" even though it has a tick against it. Tried another test line and it remained at offline. Could it be my Cccam has a problem and how do I check/install a new version in this box?

 

not active is either your not connected to the s3rv3r or you have no net connection

"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. Once done restart the box

Hey Mickah,

These boxes any good been a long time since I messed about with anything like this

 

For about 50 quid they are worth every penny.

 

anyone try a wireless dongle in them?

 

i have mickah im using it on my box in my bedroom it did not work well with the firmware it came with but is working spot on after i changed the firmware to the scooby_snacks image i watched 2 games of footy on it on sunday not a single glitch/freeze was perfect

 

Are you using a RALINK type dongle in it?

 

im using the 1 that came with the box it only has skybox wifi printed on it its working great and im using vermins super hub and there not the best for there wifi and its a good 35/40 ft upstairs from my super hub

i also like how the firmware that i used puts the channel list and names the fav groups also unlike the old openbox s10/11s that had to manually put in.

i have tried loads of boxes and for ppl just starting out and dont want to spend to much i would say u cant get a better hd box for the price £45/£60 depends if ppl want the wifi dongle with it or not the only thing that is up with it is no epg guide just whats on and whats next but to me a great small box for the bedroom/spare room just the thing for running away from the wife and kids when footy is on llf

ralink work well with skyboxes. skybox wifi driver supports ralink. they are £4.75 from fleabay (aerial type).

 

Am i right in thinking this box has to be connected to the internet all the time ? What min speeds is suitable? Thanks

 

if you want to use the box to get other chans then yes, for FTA chans etc, then no, a min speed of about 1 to 2 megs will do, dont forget you will be using your internet while the box is working, so if your downloading big files at the same time it may cause an issue

 

Thanks mickah, i used to have the old super box many moons ago and am thinking about getting another.. Just seeing which way to go,

 

they seem to be a good box by all accounts and for small money to,

 

yeh everything ive read so far has been all positive,
