Try using older firmware, i had a similar problem worked my way back to firmware from 2012 before it completed the boot up

again, ive seen clone boxes do this and only 1 <--- particular firmware would work

if you have the recovery kit let me know and ill sort out some firmwares that might get you back up and running

Yes I have the recovery kit m8 ...

try this first and let me know if you have any problems, if you still have problems then I think it can only be 1 other.

Also I have JUST updated my Skybox recovery kit with most original firmware's and also now has most known clone firmware's too:

edit: I have seen some recovery kits/software going around that was not the right one so it might be worth also having this in your toolkit lads.

Pm me your address m8 I've got 2 one that's onE001 and 1 that freezes but the 1 that freezes is new when I say freezes I mean crashes .. I'll sort you out ...

Both skyboxes received safely mate, I will be having a tinker later this afternoon and getting them working ok.

Right first box that was freezing, ive tried every firmware and they all do the same thing - freezing, I think this may be a faulty unit and the tuner may be foobar. Ill have a look to see if I have any spare tuners but I don't think I have.
im just checking the other one now. ill not give up on the first unit, ill strip the tuner down and see if I can see nay problems.

also whoever opened the boxes up before me made a mess of the plastics, it is best to get a flat screwdriver which is just about the same size as the slots at the side. less chance of damaging the unit.

lastly the box that's freezing, its casing says f5s BUT the main board says f3
