I want to take a look at the contents of a .bin file for my Seiki TV. Has anyone done this sort of thing and can either give me some advice?

I don't know if it's an archive file, or a straight binary file etc.

I am totally awful with Linux, but I assume that the firmware will turn out to be linux based.

Just looking at the raw binary (before it goes to a complete encoded mess)

I see lots of reference to people just saying the opened the archive etc. I've tried zip and xz, but no luck so far. I don't have linux installed yet to try out a 'File' command.

That bin file is intended to go on a USB stick for flashing.
 
What I wanted to do was compare the bin for the 42" screen I have against the 55" model, and see if the 55 firmware can be used on the 42. The reason being that a similar thing happened with a previous model from this manufacturer and doing so allowed 120hz at 1080p to be used.
