[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 821465, member: 323322"] Well, while trying to get the BBC Feeds on 27.5W open, I needed to Edit my Channel List to Flag them as Scrambled, in order to let my constant.cw file do its stuff. So I downloaded the Program Edit Tool from the Skybox Site. All seemed straightforward - got the TP-PROG.dbs file open and changed the Flags. Completed the process by uploading the Edited file to the box. Box was already running, and apparently working, but I noticed that my 27.5W Channel List was both Duplicated and showing all sorts of weird entries. Made the mistake of rebooting the box and it got to L100 then reset and just kept going round in a loop. No joy, so I found a Recovery Tool on the Web. Dug out my Null Modem Cable and went next door with the Box to use my neighbours PC (No Serial Socket on Lappy or Netbook) and ran tool. It saw the Box ok and reported Sync., but simply failed on "Memory Error". So it is BRICKED! I shall bite the bullet and get another, but beware: DO NOT use the PROGRAM EDIT TOOL. [/QUOTE]
