    EPG Question

    I was unsure as when I was using my Humax Foxsat-HD on 19.2e I was only getting now and next due to the Humax Freesat boxes only supporting Now and Next in none Freesat Mode. Will have to re setup the 19.2e feed and have a look at what channels support 7 days and what support only Now & Next...

    EPG Question

    Is the Skybox EPG 7 days on other sats like 19.2e or is it only now and next like on 28e. I'd check for myself but it means having to mess around setting up the 19.2e feed and tune in a 19.e TP. but as I was recommending it to someone over on the DS Forums I said that it might support 7 day...

    Cheap HD receiver wanted

    I would have suggested the Skybox F3 but it only has 1 card slot though. Roland

    Using Skybox F3 with IDE Hard Drive

    I just used the one that I used for backup with the Laptop, just took off all the Drivers that I need and re-formatted it to NTFS and set it up for recording use. I can't justify buying a new HDD for the F3 when I've got a spare that hasn't been plugged into the Computer for ages anyway. Roland

    Using Skybox F3 with IDE Hard Drive

    I've dumped my 80GB 2.5" SATA Laptop HDD in USB Caddy for a 320GB IDE Desktop HDD in a Mains Powered USB Caddy and it seems far more reliable than the self powered one that I was using, recorded Baseball off of ESPN America HD yesterday afternoon and a film off of Syfy +1 last night and both...

    Updated Transponder List & Favorites

    I'd have done it before today, but was on Holiday last week and only just found out when I was flicking through the Children's list that I realized, luckily the DS Forums made it easier by having TP details for the Children's channels that changed TP and King Of Sat was used for the Africa...

    Updated Transponder List & Favorites

    I used the Olympics channels for about 4 days out of the 16 and only used the Foxsat-HDR but the Skybox might get used for the Paralympics though. Had to watch Jessica Ennis win gold in Heptathlon, Andy Murray win gold and Silver in Tennis and Tom Daley win Bronze in 10m Platform diving. The...

    Updated Transponder List & Favorites

    I've done it now. Yes I'm refering to 28E. Now got the old BBC Olympics Channels to remove and add the Channel 4 Olympics Channels. When I get round to re adding my 19E Feed I've got some serious fun ahead re-adding all the 19E Channels and setting up Favorites lol. Roland

    Updated Transponder List & Favorites

    Has anyone got an updated TP List and Favorites List including Pay Channels that they would kindly dump to disk and share as I need a couple of the children's channels that recently moved TP and I need them in a hurry and it would take too long to do the scan for them as little one want's to...

    Skybox F3 DVR Info Bar

    All the Skybox users on here should get together and produce our own user manual and post it on here in .pdf format and leave no corner of the software on the box un covered even the CCcam and MG/NewCam features, then ask the mods to make it a sticky Thread so it's easy to find. Roland

    Skybox F3 DVR Info Bar

    The Manual could do with being a lot bigger for the Skybox since it is a more complex box than a Sky Digibox or even a Freesat box. My Freesat HDR Manual is huge compared to the Skybox F3 Manual for something that is basically intended to be used on 28.2e only where as the Skybox F3 Manual is...

    Skybox F3 DVR Info Bar

    I've noticed them, on mine they vary in size and the right hand one sometimes moves on play back. I don'r know if its some kind of counter like there was on the very old VCRs that just had a basic clock and timer program setup where there was the 3 Number wheels that used to tick over in...

    Skybox F3: PVR Compatible USB Sticks

    I'm using a 2.5in SATA HDD from an old HP laptop in a caddy & I can confirm that the USB port can power an external HDD without a PSU. Roland Sent from my Ayame

    Skybox F3: PVR Compatible USB Sticks

    That's why my Skybox isn't my main box for recording. My Foxsat-HDR has got a 500gb HDD & the meager 80gb USB HDD is only used for recording from you know what channels & tests. Also the 8 event manual timer & single tuner isn't really suited to being a daily use PVR. Roland Sent from my Ayame

    Skybox F3: PVR Compatible USB Sticks

    I've found a bug with External HDDs, don't know if it's present with USB Sticks where it needs to be formatted by the box to ether Fat 32 or NTFS. I found out that a PC Formatted NTFS drive has trouble staying connected to the box or won't connect after the box has been powered on. I've...
