Talk all across the boards on this untested and as of the moment non-supported new receiver:


The OPENBOX S16, the real 1080P HD video decoder, what is the first one using the ALI3606 chip receiver.
The OPENBOX S16 hd pvr is real 1080P HD video decoder s16. Now it is coming with the ALI M3606C program (which is an upgraded version of ALI3602) and accepting large purchase, the ALI M3606C program, to bid farewell to brush the crash.

The following advantages:
1. The real 1080P-50, 1080P-60 high-definition decoding and GX, color fuller, clearer images;
2. Support U disk, hard disk media player (in addition to the format to RMVB format can all be supported), as a player to use, also can be watching TV while recording;
3. Full Dolby (Dolby) function;
4. self-developed software, without encryption chip, completely genuine;
5. It can perfect instead of the OPENBOX/SKYBOX S9, openbox S10 and openbox S11, openbox S12 hd and so on (ALI3602).

Openbox S16 Compare with OPENBOX/SKYBOX-S9, S10, S11,S12
OPENBOX-S9、S10、S11、S12 use ALI3602
1. Only support 1080i, 720P HD decoding, and the image quality is poor;
2. Supports only a small part of the U-disk media player format;
3. Only half the Dolby function;
4. With the encryption clip, easy to brush crash.

Thanks Costa, :th_thumbs20up:

Funny how they mention 1080P, but the specs just say ----Multiple display mode: 1080i/720p/570p/576i/480p;

Typo maybe..
 
A guy with a dead s16 said the rs232 s16 loader didn't work.
I gave him the s10 v2.0.0f loader and that did work for him.
I don't have an s16 to verify that but he was happy.
 
Finally received my S16 almost 5 weeks in. The s16 comes with no instruction guide, no adapter and no hdmi cable. The remote is similar in shape to the Optibox Anaconda remote but much less functional then even the Skybox F3 remote. Also batteries for the remote are not included. The s16 boots in pal and is equipped with a European/Asian sat list. It's identical in size to the F3 but many features are lacking. One thing I did notice when setting it up to ntsc was the wide choice of video resolutions. I've only scanned several Atlantic sats but there will be many more posts as to its attributes or more of its downfalls.

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 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?

modded foreign on s10 – 04-17-2012
 
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.
