Hi I am having the same problem as well few FTA showing scrambled i too have a skybox f3 please advise this occured the last few days while skybox in the bedroom has all the fta active ??

Have you tried switching the skyboxes to see if that makes a difference?
If it does might be a connection issue either cable or lnb.
If not try following the advice given on the above posts.

I have PM you links to sites with the latest firmware try to reflash your stb, once you have done this do a blind scan see if you get channels check fta channels like bbc,itv etc

Lets get back to basics the skybox in bedroom fta ok the other skybox no signal am I correct?
How have you connected your skyboxes to the satellite?
Did you try to swap the 2 stbs around to make sure the one that was working (fta) still worked where you had the other?
In your satellite list did you select the correct satellite before blind scanning?

Hi Bedroom and living room not showing some FTA channels especially the international folder everything else fine ie sub with my supplier living room connected with communal dish bedroom connected independent dish have already done blind scan on both boxes still the same i think it has go to do with the installation of SGTflip flop bouquet (JAN2013 update) is there alternative bouquet i can try your input and patience much appreciated.

I am assuming that you are in the u.k so want astra 28.2e, I am also assuming you know how to upgrade firmware and channel list.

A Note Of Caution Back up Everything!!!

Reflash Firmware:View attachment F3-F5_Jan25_Skydiver.rar
Do blind scan
Upload channel list:View attachment TP_PROG_23_02_13.rar
Restart stb
Good luck.

Hi can you confirm this firmware does not have Youporn plug in please Yes indeed i live in the UK also the channel list is the same as per link

I think all the latest firmware has this plugin but easy enough to stop it showing try going into network setting and pressing 6666 to make it disappear same procedure to make it appear again.

I also have the same issue guys but if i unplug the f3 box from the back after switching off then switch it back on, everything works for sometimes up to one hr then i get the scrambled sign again could it possibly be the service provider as i do believe speeds are still capped? just a thought.
Oh and by the way, signal is at 75% when working and picture is perfect this has only started over the last couple of weeks.

It seems to be a strange problem I doubt it will the service provider (data used by F3 is minimal), but switching off then on the F3 seems to cure problem maybe loose connection or heat problem.
How are you connecting to the internet wifi or ethernet?

Hi applied the new firmware for the F3 including the channel list F£ randomly reboots it self has made the situation worse than it was before i may need to revert back to the old firmware hoping it will fix the problem temporary. thanks for trying to assist ..
