    Using F16 Firmware on a CT 5000+?

    Hi,

    I must admit that I hesitate to patch my receiver
    with F16 FW.

    But since this model doesn´t seem to be supported anymore
    (CT ´ve got a lot to do for thier 9000 series) I´m juuust abit tempted.


    What´s your view / experience if you´ve tried it?

    Could this really destroy your box??

    Does the latest F16 FW have the same "features" like opening
    I2 chls , Viasat NDS 5E (Dr,NRK,SVT), ORF.....

    Is it save to go back to CT FW??

    Thanks in advance

    Hmmm save? it's always a risk to load other firmware then original.

    But hey No pain, No gain :-)

    1) To move from CT to F16, charge via USB (or serial) firmware 180p, then the file boot_HTM8000_7109 and then the firmware F16 you want.

    2) To move from F16 to CT, charge via USB (or serial) F16 firmware "1.00, then the file boot_HTM8000_7109 and then the firmware CT you want.

    It 's always better before you do this and save the settings and softcam and reset the decoder!
    Don't have a CT buit i saw F16 from yesterday so they are pretty recent

    Ok I did it. Seems like zapping speed has improved.
    It´s like owning a new box...

    All in all a much better looking soft and Epg better too....

    Moreover CAM´s do work better with this firm.

    Has anyone here tried to install a 2nd cardreader?
    F16 Firm is supposed to support it??
