The dummies guide to updating your Skybox channels !

This is for updating the CHANNEL files only, DO NOT try and update the main image on your box unless you know exactly what you are doing and are prepared to buy a new box if anything goes wrong. There are many images out there that can destroy your box if you flash one that is not compatable with yours, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !

Anyway, so long as you understand that, here is how to load a new channel list on your box.

First of all you will need to buy, borrow or steal a USB memory stick from somewhere. It doesn't matter about the size of information it can hold because the size of the file you will be putting on it is only small, and any USB stick will do the job.

You then need to download the latest channel file. Right click HERE and chose "Save File As".

This file will be named TP_PROG.dbs and must be transfered to the root of the memory stick, I.E. just save it to the stick, don't put it in a directory first. If this file isn't the latest then look around the various forums on line for one for your area. There are lots of places that channel files can be downloaded from so have a look and find one yourself, if the one shown above isn't the one you want, I don't want to know. I update it when I get time but if you can't be bothered to search for one yourself, I certainly cant be bothered to do it for you !

When you have your file on the memory stick, plug it into your box. The box will say something like "USB storage connected" so you know its in correctly.

** All the following commands relate to the remote control **

Press MENU

Select the TOOLS menu then press OK

Select UPGRADE BY USB then press OK

With upgrade mode selected, go left or right until it says MISC FILES

Press down to get to SELECT AND UPGRADE, then press OK

Make sure that TP_PROG.dbs is selected then press the YELLOW button

The new file will be flashed to the box. When it has finished, press EXIT a few times to get out of the menu system and the box will reboot with the new channels !
