okay guys ive got box connected, wifi connected, free test line, usb formatted to fat32, coffee and glasses on how do i get code onto usb :whistling:

 

[bill1312]

I have received my openbox and after fiddling around with it, found to my amazement everything set up for me. I just had to switch on, press FAV button and there it all was. So hopefully my luck will continue for the next couple of years.


There is one thing I would ask and that is "Will I have to update the channel list?"

Did your test provider not send you a file with the line already on?

Lawly Yes it did, cost £40 box and all off amazing

what is the file called newcamd.list?

if so just download the file to desktop and drag it onto your USB in my computer.

it came as a pop up on screen sorry to be so thick maybe its beyond my limited computer skills maybe i should just put the code in manually ,thanks

It shouldn't have just popped up on your screen without you double-clicking on something first.

Have a read of the text file I've written for adding C & N lines.
