Try reflashing the firmware.

Re: Help for Skybox M3

Many thanks for your help , I still can see all FTA channels and will be a silly question how to do the reflashing i.e, factory resets ? and still cannot connect with internet as ethernet is not working, is any way to check is network is on the m3 by any other way ?

if you got no network menu in the menu settings enter 6666 or 8888 on your remote should open the secret menu

Re: Help for Skybox M3

im struggling to understand whats wrong with your m3 have you got a network menu in the menu area did you get the box with a gift cline nline in your op it says you still got sky uk so can you view all sky channels or just fta think you need to start at the top and go from there

To the OP you will get all the SD and HD free (Freesat) channels if the dish is pointed at 28.2/5e. However it will not sort them into order you will have to do that manually if you wish. It will not automatically update the channel list so again you will need to do that manually. Basically its a generic FTA receiver. Also looks like the USB socket is on the front, which may or not be an issue for you.

It will work out of the box you'll just need to select 28.2E in the setup menu and scan for channels. It won't hold your hand and do it automatically like a Freesat receiver would.

Re: Help for Skybox M3

are you talking about how to check if you are connected to a cs server or not? or on to your home network?

Re: Help for Skybox M3

To check the connection of the router and a satellite receiver need to go into your router settings and there you can see a list of all connected devices

Hi nandu1048
If your router is showing yellow then you are connected but there is an issue. I think if you look in network settings and try changing DHCP either ON or OFF whichever gives you connection hope this helps you.

In network settings make sure that DHCP is on.
