Yeah this is what I was talking about, the X3 uses the same chip-set as the receiver you have. Whereas the S-Series Openboxes(well most) used the 3602. In all fairness though several different brands use the M3601S, that don't mean they are trying to clone the openbox, but I know what you mean.
they might not be trying to but maybe we can get some help modding the software to make it work more like the openbox so we have a little support on it im pretty sure it will work and all we would need is a remote code fix clone kill bombs removed and a checksum fix so probably could all be done in a script
After checking the chip differences on the ALI Tech website the M3601S and M3602 Chipset take you to the same spec page for
this chipset
M3329E DVB-S SOC
The ALi M3329E is a cost effective, single-chip solution for DVB-S set-top box (STB) applications. The M3329E integrated a QPSK demodulator, a high performance CPU, and a dedicated hardware block for TS stream demultiplexing, a TV encoder, a 2D graphic Engine, a flexible Scatter Gather DMA, a hardware accelerator for MPEG decoding and a dedicated display engine for STB playback.
Feature:
Embedded high performance CPU
Embedded BPSK/QPSK demodulator
Support parallel/serial transport stream input
DiSEqC Spec. 1.x and 2.x supported
DVB-CSA de-scrambler supported
DVB Common Interface
ISO7816 smart-card reader interface
16/32-bit DRAM interface
Support parallel/serial flash
ATA/ATAPI interface
USB host controller
Embedded 2D Graphic Engine
Support Interlace and Progressive scan output
Programmable DACs outputs provide the flexibility for different configurations
Build-in Audio DAC
Power save mode
Also other STB's with the same chipset's can do 2-45m bitrate so their might still be hope
