Hi Guys,

I dont know if anyones come across this problem but i tried to update my channel list on my openbox/skybox F3 and it's just saying file no found. even though i put the TP_Prog.dbs file in the root of my usb stick. i've tried two different channel lists and it's doing the same

If i try to update the CCcam.cfg or the box firmware that updates without issue.

The hard drive i'm using is a 500GB external USB hard drive. i'm going to try using a smaller USB stick and see if it will update

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance

hello
lee

where did you get your channel list?
have you unzip'd/unrar'd the file before putting it on your hdd?
if not, you need to unzip/unrar the file before you put it on your hdd( 500gb devise )
using a smaller hdd/usb stick wont make any difrance unless there is a problem with you 500hdd
if you have unzip'd/unrar'd the file and are still having truble with it i can send you a channel list, just pm me your email
hope this helps
 
@Slyboxhd - I got my channel list off digital kaos (and yes i unzuipped it to get the TG_PROG.dbs file) - it's a Sky Numbered channel list , so all the channels match upto the UK Sky Package. do you have a channel list that will be able to do the same? my email address is mrlee121(at)me(dot)com.

I've been told by someone off another site to change the format of my usb drive to FAT instead of NTFS. so i'm going to format my 8GB USB stick into a FAT format and try it again. will post my results!

my channel list is one i made for my self but will send you it and you can see wot you think, my regon is n ierland so you might have the sort to your regon, its got entertainment ni and entertainment uk but have't sort's out the uk side as used to take my box over to england when working over there but havent been in a long time so will need some tweaking.
lee you should keep your email off post's as anyone on the net can see it and you could get hacked, you'd be best to edit your post and delete your email.
if you have a 8 gb usb drive it will be fat32, rember if you format a usb stick or hdd you will delete everything on there, if you are able to send files with your 500hdd then it must be fat32 as the box wont be able to read ntfs. it could be that the file has been curpted when you downloaded it, try downloading it again.
channel list has been sent.
hope this helps

theres also 1 on the forum mate dated September 2012,the back up is usually called 3601HD_Backup when loaded normally on a usb stick if you use TG_PROG.dbs even if they are the same .abs file you have to change the way you load them on so in the menu navigate to the "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.

Just received my Skybox F3 HD, Google'd how to set it up, Channel lists etc and i came to here... So apologies for bumping an old thread but here goes...

Can someone help me get this setup please? Would really appreciated it, I have a few sea lions that i found on google already in a CCcam.cfg file on my memory stick.

I think i just need a channel list?
