      Go to King of Sats find the european satellites then manually add the position into the satellite list, you put the position in the sky its at like 19.2e and give it a name like Astra1 or go back to you previous firmware.

        There are some euro lists on here somewhere (I can't remember exactly where)
        Have a look for Openbox/Skybox/F3 bouquets/channel list (or ******).

        If you're really stuck I can share mine but it's a bit individualised (for PL footy)

          Easy enough to add satellites to Openbox. No need for a satellite list. Just put enter the location and name of the satellite and do a blind scan. It will find all the channels. But if you want a personalised channel list then download some channel lists from the web.

              Does anyone know whether the rebooting problems of the earlier openboxes has been rectified? I am looking to replace my S10 with something more reliable.

                The rebooting issue only affected a very minor number of F3's and the best
                solution was to return and get another one a lot of people now have this box
                and are using without any problems.

                  The problem with rebooting satellite receiver Skybox F3 was solved at the programmatic level. You need to install the latest version of the software and the problems with the reboot will not.

                      Plug in usb stick or external hard drive then on the remote click menu and
                      select media icon to make sure stb recognises recording media.

                              It has ******* and You**** I think its best feature is its wireless dongle support. Homeplugs are about £40 but the dongle you'll get for £6 works perfect. Down side is if your using a dongle you can't use an external hardrive or usb stick.

                                I have mine wired via ethernet port, switched on box and hey presto all works(thank god), as for crashes I have latest firmware from skybox.cc manufacturers site and all is well except when using you ****/p**n so I just use mine as a satellite receiver.

                                Super HD performance and SD not bad and sensitive tuner great for fringe reception paired with inverto black ultra.
