Skybox F5s channels not working

Hi there, a newbie seeks help!
I have a F5S box which has today lost all channels. I have downloaded the latest list from a couple of sites but none work.
Is there a temporary issue with the channels or should I be worried?
Thanksimp:

Is your share working?

ermmmm. Share???? sorry not sure what you mean there
I have tested the box again by using an updated channel list; the freeview channels are ok but the scrambled ones are all not showing
thanks

The pay channels are owned by sky tv.
If you are using this box and have been receiving sky pay channels you have been receiving them via illegal card sharing.
Sky charge.
You probably bought a box from ebay etc with a so called gift installed that has now stopped working.

that would explain it then....... thanks anyway I didn't know it was illegal tho
