Wow, some cheap receivers here! Code B39DW

I am wondering whether this toy is patchable? (I am probably expecting too much of it).

quck google has turned up its a rebadged Arion

there are patches out there for Arion boxes so you never know

Some of the Metronic Touchboxes were patchable (but I don't know if that includes this one) or if the patches are either current or very well supported if it is.

Oh, that's terrible grammar. Please feel free to beat me with a heavy English textbook. I like that.

You should learn to talk proper, like what I do

A la Del Boy?

I think it's '3' that's patchable, but don't quote me.
