After recently receiving the S-DMA Map, I noticed the Authorization Status on my receivers has changed to MW. Ok, what the heck does MW mean? I haven't paid close attention to this recently, but I'm almost positive this used to read SWO. Also, while downloading PG data the status changes to MP, which I will assume is a normal status code during this time. About a year ago someone had posted all known Authorization Status codes, but I cannot locate this information.

According to the below listed posts:

SWO = Authorized Without Taping?
MP = Missing Program Rekey?
MW = You're Screwed After Receiving Mangled Washington S-DMA? :rolleyes:


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here they are, taken directly from the "Motorola Cablevision DSR550 Installation and Diagnostic Menu Guide".

B Bought
C Program can buy with taping
CB Event blackout
DF Debit register will overflow
I$ Insufficient credit
MC Missing category key
ME Missing event blackout message
MP Missing program rekey
BWO Bought without taping
CWO Program can buy without taping
MW Missing working key message
NA No AFP records
NI IPPV not enabled
NO No IPPV overlay in message
NS Not subscribed
OC Old category sequence
P$ Max package cost exceeded
SWO Subscribed without taping
RB Regional blackout
S Subscribed
SC Show count limit exceeded
XD Bad debit buffer checksum
XS Bad seed checksum
ST Subscribed with taping

Ok, still looking for MW. Also, two of my receivers are Authorization Status: MW and one is Authorization Status: MP.

MW Missing working key message (whatever that means)

The authorization status is channel dependent. If you go to a non-OTA channel SWO will usually show up as the status, sometimes it takes a few minutes to show up. The M codes usually show up for OTA channels.

Hope that was some help.

Sorry Bryan, but I have to ask. What is that thing on your avatar's forehead? I hope it was not an attempt to implant a third eye.
