Would appreciate any help with this pls. Joe007
You need to be more specific about your symtoms. What do you mean by "doesn't work"?
When you use lists from different sources, the favourite catagories may be different causing the programmes to be listed in the wrong favourites. To solve this, you need to do a "Factory settings" on your box.
menu > tools > factory settings. A message will appear to say that it will erase the channels. Select Yes. A pop-up menu will appear with options to erase other files. DO NOT SELECT ANY OF THESE. Press the blue button on remote. Wait a few seconds for the data to be saved.
You should now have the favourites labeled correctly.
Put the box into standby & then back to ON. (You have to do this now before making any of the changes mentioned below, otherwise they will revert back).
Depending on which model of openbox/skybox you have, these menu options may need to be reset...
Check DHCP is set to ON
Check Local time setting is still on UK
Subtitles will be set to ON
Network Local Settings may be hidden (press 6666)
Volume will be reset to half way
PIN might have been reset to 0000 (not sure about this, as I never change it).
