Hi guys looking for a bit of help/advice if possible. I have had a Skybox f5s for about 3 years now and it's been working perfect fine up until now (apart from missing the blocked channels) but over the past day or two I've noticed that a lot of the time when I try to change channels with the remote control my box seems to freeze and do nothing. I have to power off and on at the mains to be able turn back on and when I change channels for another short period until it occurs again. Anyone experienced issues like this before? Any help/advice would be appreciated?

Hi bud, thanks for the reply. I thought that something like this might be the solution as I have had the box three years and never done anything like that apart from the odd channel list update. Do u know if this is something that could be done quite easily as I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to all this tech stuff? If you could point me in the right direction that would be handy? Thanks in advance.
 
I assume you have done the obvious and changed remote batteries, if re-flash doesn't do it then, could be a component issue.

Having used it for 3 years for how much they cost, I think you had your moneys worth ;)

Yeah funny enough the batteries were done the other day and I changed them but still no change. Yea I surprised my box has lasted this long with no issues, just trying to prolong the life for a few more months until I can afford a better solution. Can you point me in the direction of a re-flash/update as I don't know much about the setup of the boxes? Cheers
