Finally getting around to wiring up my new controllers...I have a new F16V5 with SRx1V5 Smart Receivers.  I get white blinking on first 5 pixels every ~4.6sec with no testing on just setting there.  I found it is only on 17A and 21A (Not using 25-32) When I move to 18A and 22A no issue.  When I change the unit from A to B,C,D,E,F it works.  17(BCDEF) or 21(BCDEF) all works with no blinking.  But put back to 17A and 21A problem comes back.  I have left 17A/21A free for now but wondering if anyone else has seen this issue.

Do you have (Suppress output when no data is received) enabled?  I ask because I see something similar but not the same in your situation. For me, tests and sequences work fine. Once no data is received, if the option (Suppress output when no data is received) is checked, I get 19 white pixels on Port 17. If I uncheck this option and click save, the lights go out. F16v5 Build 32 with one SRx1V5 Build 3 on 17-20

Did you find a solution?

I have a similar issue. I have the SRx2 Smart Receiver, it attaches directly to the power supply.  I'm just getting it connected and the first couple of pixels blink white ever 3 or 4 seconds.  It's currently setup as A. I don't think it's related to "Suppress output when no data is received" as I've tried that.  I haven't tried setting it to B-F yet.  I want to confirm that the SR firmware is up to date first.  It connected to a brand new F16v5 and I'm hoping that might fix it.  I have no clue how to read the SR firmware version from the LEDs.  There's a button labeled "Display SR Build on SR LEDs" but no instructions on how to read that.  Mine just turn all red.  Anyway with mine they flash even when in test mode.  Also slightly different from you, mine flash no matter what port I plug them into. I tried moving them from 17A to 18A and they still flash.  With my issue it's the first several pixels no matter where they are

I updated the F16v5 Firmware and that didn't seem to fix the issue. But then I also updated the SR firmware and that seems to have fixed it.  Just a few days ago they released a new firmware for F15v5 that was supposed to address "blinking of SR pixels in some configurations"

Where did you find the firmware update?  I don't see any firmware available for F16V5 or the V5 SR's on pixelcontroller.com
