Spoke to Tech Support at Horizon today, was told that for the moment consider the BR6000 Rx NOT to be compatable with the DX6i, Spektrum are looking into this and could have an answer shortly..
New BR series RX for the DX6i perhaps..

Any more news on this as I had severe problems at Burgess Hill with my DX6i?
Has anyone got any more news on this?
Emailed Spektrum several times but they are not responding to me anymore. We got another DX6 so the 2 DX6i are just gathering dust at the moment. Grant have you had any luck with your escalation ?
I tried out the DX6i and BR6000 combo over the weekend.
It took quite a while to bind initially but I seem to recall the manual saying that if a DSM2 receiver wasnt present it would search for a DSM1 so it may take a while. So that may explain it.
My old operating procedure was to turn on the tx wait for the pcm to flash and then turn on the receiver.
When I tried this with the DX6i it either took ages for it to bind or it didnt bind at all.
I then tried turning on the receiver and leaving it for about 30secs and then turning on the tx.
The receiver appeared to not have problem binding when I did this.
Ill be re-testing this later in the week and I cant really see this being the actual problem but thought Id let you know just in case.

Andy, the PCM flashes when the failsafes are transmitted, with a PCM system you need to turn on the transmitter, then the receiver and then wait for the PCM to flash. Until the reciever has received the failsafes it will default to last known position (very dangerous with a robot).
With 2.4GHz you should turn on the receiver before attempting to bind the transmitter.
First install your bind plug.
Turn on the receiver (light should be flashing).
Turn on the transmitter while holding the trainer switch to enter bind mode.
Wait until the light on the receiver goes solid.
Remove the bind plug.
The receiver will store the stick positions during binding as the pre-set positions for failsafing so make sure that when you switch the transmitter off the robot does not move (or creep). If it does you will need to redo the bind process with the sticks in the neutral positions.
Also to note, modelmatch will store seperate bind settings for each receiver. So if you change model on the transmitter, you will need to rebind the receiver.
nowt wrong with the old faithful dx6
Anyone wanna buy a DX6i? It works, honest!
missed the boat with the problems with the dx6i, im guessing there still is a problem, as i need to buy a new one for the house robot.
Im guessing I should wait a bit longer then.
If you buy a dx6i, does it come with a reciever which works, or do you have to use our old br receivers with it ?
Is it just the old br recievers which are the problem?

I dont think that Spektrum even knows what the problem is at the moment Jonno.
From what has been said above I think you either wait for the problems to be sorted or go with a DX6 or 7.
I think the last thing you want with that new machine of yours is radio problems!
