Hi, i was told that it was possible to pay for sky sports on my humax box, and proceeded to look it up online... i came across a forum that gave instructions which claimed i could receive channels from more than one satallite!?! I did this and it took me to the 'antenna settings' by pressing the coloured buttons on my remote in sequence and then change ( i cant remember which one) to disque!?! That then deleted all my channels and now i cannot pick up a signal at all, even after doing a 'factory reset!'!!! I didnt really think about it at the time, but i suppose that what i did was 'hacking' and wondered can freesat block my box??? Otherwise any suggestions as to how to sort it?? Thanks x

To watch other satellites you need to have either a seperate offset lnb aligned on whatever satellite you want or a second dish and lnb or a motorised dish. A diseqc switch is used to connect these to the Foxsat. It's not hacking, the box is designed to be capable of operating as a free to air satellite receiver. Surprised a factory reset didn't get you going.
Two suggestions. Open the secret menu - Menu/Setup Red Green Yellow Blue Green Yellow Blue.
Antenna Setting - Should be Fixed Antenna - change if wrong
Connection Type - Two Cables (same) - change if wrong.
If that fails you could try reflashing the firmware.

To get Sky sports you would need a valid Sky viewing card, a CAM to fit in the Foxsats CI slot and a Sky Box to keep the card alive. It would have to go in the Sky box periodically.
