ive downloaded update channel list from ajs put it on usb but when updating says no file can anyone help
 
yes changed file to misc and formatted usb to fat my box works fine but want rid of hd channels as I can only watch +1 channels
 
I usually do this without problem : download your *.ABS file from the STB to an empty USB (fat32 formatted); open SettingMaker (I like this) and choose your preferences (satellite, group, favorites); go to the the download section tab and press the download button; Choose the ALI set from which decoder you have (left down corner in the tab "Download"); push the button "CREATE" and select the file *.ABS that you just downloaded in your USB ; after this save the new file in your desktop (or where you prefer); format again your USB and copy the file just created in your USB; upload from the menu of your STB choosing "misc file" from the update menu.
I hope you will solve your problem.
 
Did you unrar the file and make sure the file on the USB is TP_PROG.dbs and nothing else?
 
Unzip channel list to usb stick
Transfer it to a usb stick. Files can get renamed so you might want to check that the transferred file is still named exactly TP_PROG.dbs , it can't have one character different.

Put your USB stick in the receiver & then in the menu find "Upgrade by USB", change the mode from "image" to "misc" and then select the TP_PROG.dbs file. Upgrade and reboot once it's finished.


Thanks to AJsat
 
Links to other similar sites are not allowed m8,

Why not upload them here though?
 
Isnt the ruling against forums and sites linking to satellite resellers, not just websites?

Uploading here is good too.
 
I did post a link to my site earlier but someone here deleted it. it used to be sboxupdates.com but I shut that down and re-branded the site to

the latest channel list is there with a full step by step pdf guide with pictures. thanks to whoever deleted my post.

Thanks Det, always used it in it's last guise. I find AJ's can be hit and miss at times, never had an issue with yours for the years I have used it.

No m8 its always been to any similar sites,although its also always been a bone of contention in the staff room ;)

But as regards my post above,I was just explaining why his other link/post had disappeared and that it would be good to have them uploaded here :)
 
Hi has anyone got a guide to installing new chl list to help me

try this it works for me.
Its not my work but copied from someone else,
Unzip AJ's List XX-XX-XX.zip with a program such as winrar & place the TP_PROG.DBS file onto the root of your USB drive.
In the Skybox/Openbox menu delete your current channel list by going to the "Edit Channel" tab & selecting "Delete All".
Staying 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.
Once the upgrade has completed restart your box & voilá!
Hope it helps, and that I am not breaking any rules.:)
 
Detector has a nice fool proof document with images on his site. I know that links are not allowed but he/I might be able to upload the doc?
 
Hope this video helps
