After having the dreaded crash when upgrading channel list. My son (Dutcho) managed to Flash (I think that is the term) But could not set up the channel list for me. He has had to go to work (Can you imagine that he prefers to earn money than help me out!!!!) Just wondered if someone would be kind enough to help me set up the box which is a skybox f5,you have to use words of one syllable though I am an old codger but Newcastle are on sky tonight and I would like to get the box set up for that.

I have a copy of AJ's upgrade channels by USB but until I can set up the satellite I cannot access the upgrade by USB. The satellite list I see in the satellite list does not contain sky do I have to set the satellite to another one and then upgrade by USB

If someone can set out an ABC step-by-step that would be great

Appreciate all the help I can get thank you
 
Have now got all channels listed but only able to connect to freeview channels can someone please advise how I may be able to receive PPV channels also please.

I am thinking that it is best to go back to start just in case we flashed the box using the wrong file would anyone help by recommending a Flash Programme suitable for setting up this box please.
