    I won't elaborate yet since I'm still testing it but in comparison to my Skybox F3 for blind scanning and feed hunting, it lacks some of the basic items that would be expected of a receiver. Just wondering if there any F3 files out there that would be compatible with this receiver?

    I assume you still have the original firmware installed?
    I think 2.4 is the latest.
    They say the s10 rs232 loader works with it,if so,you could use the v2.0.0f
    loader to save chunks of firmware to pc or for disaster recovery.

    I think the s16 also has a 6pin jtag connector,just judging from mainboard pics I have seen.

    I will finish scanning all my c and ku sats before I tinker with it. All I can say is a receiver which cannot produce a sat list unless you have the time to use the find button and insert info is lacking. Another thing to mention is that when you press the info button you do not get the audio or video info as on other openbox/skybox receivers.

    there are oddball s16's out there;the common ones will say s3606q on the sysinfo screen and work with current updates.The oddball ones will say s3606d and take special firmware.

    Hello Cosactc you posting of the picture of your info screen from the s 16 made me look at a modded bin i have been messing with dr zin posted here around 2 months ago this modden bin works on my s 9 and has a different screens than my s9 does and now i know what they modded this from a s 16?

    here is what my info page says sorry its not a picture like yours but looks the same execpt for a feature called radio somthing

    bootloader 0.1.0 2009 6 18

    upcode upg 1.0.0 2009 5 14

    maincode m3602 hd 2012 3 22

    radio back 1.0.0 2009 5 8

    defaultdb 1.1.0 2011 6 23

    userdb 1.0.0 1212 4 12


    i wondered what fta type was combined in this modded bin guess it was the s 16 to work as a s 10/9 dr zin whats your take?

    From what I've seen thus far, any bin that could convert this receiver to an s9 or f3 would be an upgrade for fta scanning, its accurate scan is also slower then previous models.

    s16 is a different processor and not the source for the modded firmware.
    I believe it was a german receiver firmware that was modded.
