Rob, as a last resort find a used Harmony and try some of their miscellaneous fta boxes in their database. You can always use the Harmony as an emergency RC should your originals ever fail.

looks like a X2 prem remote

This link here has a lot of information about mstar. One of the links shows a program that looks like you can jtag or flash chips with. I am sure there is something that will work for the 7816. Lots of other information for boot logos and whatnot. It would be nice to make custom boot logos.

I got the receiver to lock a signal with the firmware that I loaded. With the help of r10fret's channel list that he made for me I loaded it and still no signal. I am only getting 2.9v out of the coax input to the box so I fed the loop out from my x5 receiver into it and boom! I now have a signal. No sound yet but I should at the very least be able to make a channel list and just load it and be able to use the receiver until I can find better firmware.

Thanks r10, hopefully I can fix my receiver with this.
