The Skybox decoder must be a not so good receiver. Mine died when I was connecting the LNB while it was on.

EID MUBARAK GREETINGS TO ALL OUR FELLOW SAT-MATES, FRIENDS AND FAMILIES.
Asante sana bwana Kungu.
Hi, had the same problem with a skybox it just stopped working after I connected the LNB. Visited this site downloaded the new firmware at that time and the Skybox tools (erom upgrade). http://www.yojiatech.com/index . Later I came to learn that the bootloader was the problem. Hope the info will be of help.

Saw the following NEWS items on the net:
"MORE GOOD NEWS ON 8° WEST
The reconfiguration of the HOT BIRD constellation will release the Hot Bird 13A satellite which will be deployed to 7/8° West. Renamed EUTELSAT 8 West C, it will enable Eutelsat to switch on additional transponders at the key neighbourhood for satellite television in North Africa and the Middle East. The 7/8 degrees West arc, already hosting Eutelsat and Nilesat satellites, broadcasts over 1,000 channels to more than 30 million homes and represents one of the fastest growing neighbourhoods for digital services. This orbital position will get a further boost in the second half of 2015 with the launch of Eutelsat 8 West B.
ARAB ‘PIRATE' TV STATIONS TAKEN OFF AIR
Egyptian satellite operator Nilesat has removed two Arab TV stations that allegedly broadcast pirated content.
Panorama Comedy and Panorama Action are no longer broadcasting via the Nilesat satellite, according to a report by Al Arabya. Three Arab broadcasters, the MBC Group, OSN and Rotana have asked the operator to take measure against broadcasters who do not pay licence fees for programmes they broadcast. Sam Barnett, CEO of MBC Group (who also owns Al Arabya), said that many of the pirate satellite-TV channels operating in the region are broadcasting movies without proper license from the legitimate right holders. He claims that that around 15 satellite channels broadcast in the Arab world are illegally broadcasting Hollywood and Arabic movies.
