  • F3 boots up but no picture

    Quote from grouser

    F3 working okay last night,but when I turned on this afternoon it went through the boot up process according to front display but after reaching 100 and Sepe appears on front display it should show the ***box logo screen but all I get is a blank TV screen no picture nothing I can select a channel and that shows also but No picture even trying to select the menu option nothing appears just a black TV screen any ideas as to what is wrong and can it be fixed

  • USB play back recording

    Quote from stevejo

    try ac3 filter if you google that you may be missing ac3 codec on the pc


    Thanks for that stevejo,I have fixed the problem, I had to do a complete reinstall on my compy before Christmas and thought I had installed all of my programmes hard ware soft ware and so on but I failed to install K-lite codec pack, plus on using VLC I didn't select English option in the Audio section, whether one or all of that was the problem I don't know but as it is now working I'm more than happy, so again Thanks for your input...:20_003:

  • USB play back recording

    I'm having trouble playing back recordings from F3 through a computer the visual is perfect but there is No audio I can play it back through the F3 and have both sound and vision but through my compy I have only vision, I have even run it through Panasonic HHD recorder and the same thing Picture but no sound I have tried USB 2 and 3 with the same result, as far as I can make out all three appliances run the same formats jpeg mp3 and so on I have even tried running VLC media player as that reports to play anything but it does not even see the file or usb, if I can only use the F3 to replay recordings on then so be It, but there must be away to play it on a computer with both sound and vision could it be a codec thing if so can someone point me in the right direction please...:59:

  • zip file downloads

    Quote from mckee25

    There is another fix for this, un-install IE version 11 and windows will automatically revert back to IE10, you can then click on the setting icon and select "about internet explorer" in here un-check install new versions automatically. This problem only occurs when your using IE11 .


    Thanks for that mckee, I was thinking along those same lines after a bit of research but the damn thing is working now on IE 11 but if it goes t*ts up again I will.......grouser

  • zip file downloads

    Well after spending the best part of the day Pi**ing about with this I reinstalled winrar and it's working...........Why I haven't a clue Bl**dy stupid machine or it's me either way I'm right peed off...

  • zip file downloads

    As soon as I'm allowed to download again(after many attempts to rectify this problem)caused me to fall foul of the amount of downloads I can do I will try this also as I was on the last days of the trial version of WinRAR I have gone over to 7zip

  • zip file downloads

    Hoping someone can help with this, I use WinRAR to down load zipped files which then upload to s*****f3, recently I had to restore my desktop back to out of the box settings and spent a good few hours installing updates and soft ware to get it back to how it was before I screwed up, the problem I am having is that every time I click on to the zip file and down load to save in my documents instead of seeing the normal zip file logo I am getting An Attachment PHP file which when I download on to USB drive to update Sat Box the Sat box doesn't recognise the file and so does not up date, I am using windows 7 home all updated ,F-secure AV with windows fire wall as part of it's settings also I am using IE 11

    Quote from darius

    This new F3s S/W is exactly the same as F3/M3/F5 Software(20130327)
    I HAVE TRIED IT ON MY F3 BOX IT WORKS FINE AND NOTHING IS CHENGED ,THEY HAVE CHENGED ONLY ITS NAME FOR THIRE NEW F3S BOX THAT IA ALL.


    So I take it that any further Software for the old f3 will be now under the f3s kind of making the older f3 no longer supported in a way..

  • Unable to update channel list

    Hope some one can help, I have been using AJ's channel list for a while without any problems but just recently I have encountered a problem in as much I download and save the file extract to usb drive using Zip fast and following instructions update my f3 box but the past two updates I went ahead as normal but when I press yellow to update the burn flash goes from 0 to 100 in a split second and no programmes are installed, I can use an old update file using the exact same method and no problem it's only recently I have had this happen. The files are on the usb drive but will not update, thanks for any advice
