Well first of all I'd like to say hello to everyone, having come across this forum just by chance.
Before I ask for some advice, I'd like to explain that I am "knocking on in years" and not really computer savvy, and to make things worse I struggle to restore information due to an illness. So as you can guess I'm really struggling with all this info.
Anyway here goes:- fed up with getting rap*d by Sky so I thought,Twelve months ago I bought an openbox V8S from ebay. Everything went reasonably fine. The picture wasn't great and I had regular freezing. Nevertheless for the price I couldn't complain.
Last week all my channels got scrambled and not realising my original "gift" had expired i went into settings and somehow deleted my picture. After much searching i managed to recover the picture and also somehow deleted sky sports even though it was scrambled. Ive probably deleted other channels too but just haven't realised which ones.
I have since managed to discover that i am currently running Software version 3511HD_07_12_2014_0923
I have also found C:Server EEL3T44CAQ 25005 Offline (there is a tick next to it)
If ive read correctly i need to purchase a cline or nline (even though i don't really know what they are)
1)Basically what I'm after is, if anyone can tell me if i need to update my software and if so how do i go about doing it and from where
2) How do i go about getting all the sky channels and from where.
3) Any other channels or anything else i need to do.
Oh by the way i used to get youtube, weather and porn but that's also stopped working.
As i mentioned earlier please please give me a break and be gentle as i's really struggling getting my head around this and storing the information.
Many Thanks.
p.s. i nearly bought another openbox from ebay with the 12 months gift so it would be plug and play, but i thought I'd try here first.
