Re: Freezing Skybox F3

Stu42 the usb way is the only way to enter lines from this site onto Openbox or Skybox. Thats the best your going to get from here until your post count increases or you buy a line from here mate. Having siad that keep trying different lines some are not so glitchy as others.

Sorry Toby, could you go into a bit more detail. At the moment I copy the cfgs from the list in here, run it through a check and the ones that come back 'green' i copy onto memory stick and add it into the config of the skybox.
Is this the best way?
Also what do you mean by different sats or channels?
Thanks in advance

People usually use their remote to enter c lines into their boxes. If you want to speed things up. Just copy the line into a notepa file with extension .cfg copy that text file to your usb and insert the USB stick into your box. Update the files in your box. Activate the line. Restart the box and the line should be online.
Its very easy and simple way once you get used to it.

Re: Freezing Skybox F3

I would consider going more 'full time' with this and taking up a paid service. However, being a huge scaredy cat I am slightly worried about detection especially as SLY are my ISP

So far the only people they are after are the ones with the servers not the clients. In other words the monkey not the organ grinder. hehe

There is a lot of discussion about this problem in another threads so better to do this kind of discussion in the dedicated threads and keep this thread only for the freezing of skybox F3. Have a look

you can always send a pm to admin to get test line and test it for yourself. Have heard bout it that its good server and not much money.

Just to add a finer point Stu43 continue to use your usb for the lines on here as the Openbox does not recognise "_" this symbol its the ONLY way to get the line on mate.

Just for information of the Openbox and Skybox users that both boxes recognise "_" symbol. just keep pressing zero on your remote whilst entering a c line through your remote.

Sorry didn't want to start a domestic. I think I must be adding them properly as I do get a short burst of picture before it just freezes.
Where can I get stb_mm_lan, and is there any tuts showing how to work it?

Re: Freezing Skybox F3

I've tried lots of them. None so far have given me anything more than about a minute but then I'm low on posts etc so probably not getting the best. Are you suggesting it should be better ?

Re: Freezing Skybox F3

i've also noticed that when in the manage CCcam the status jumps from Online to Login to Offline constantly.
Again, is this just to be expected or is their something i'm missing?

F3 Skybox and Openbox are closely related.
The file is in this thread:

http://www.satlover.eu/forum/openbox-hd/42482-stbhd_lan_mm-and-openbox-2.html

As for tutorials it's fairly simple.
Find your box's IP address by going to: Menu>Network Setup
Start the STB_lan utility.
Login to it using the box's IP address.
Go to the CCcam plug dropdown and select CCcam.cfg
Paste your line/s.
Save using the floppy symbol (important).
Select CCcam.cfg again and hit green arrow to send the .cfg to the box.
Reboot box.
That's it!

Also useful for dumping/backing up all the box's channel lists and system files...enjoy.
