Thanks for the reply.. My Captive Works Receiver is the CW-600s Digital Satellite Receiver. I started to set this receiver up a few years ago, but life got in the way.. I'm mainly interested in the Radio feeds that are on 19. Will I need to replace this receiver? tnx

My Setup is a fixed dish, (fortec star), with no motor and a Captive Works Receiver. Tnx Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

My new LNB has arrived and I'm ready to slowly get the dish set back up.. I need to be directed back to the Rookie help pages, taking me back to the basics of dish pointing and initial reception. I seem to remember a page that offers coordinates from my zip code .. and I need a fresh...

I've ordered my lnb . Thanks for the help..

The pics sure made it easy. I am going to check both of these out and order one of them soon. Looks like the sl2pll has dual outputs.. thanks

..New Format Looks Nice.. I need to replace the LNB on my Fortec Star Dish and am looking for suggestions thanks

Well, I'm trying to climb back in the saddle here in Norman.. I have resurrected the dish and receiver and have completed a manual search of PIXL's recommended transponder. I'm getting a signal strength of 68-9% , but once completed I don't know which way to turn in order to see what...

Thanks for the info.. ..My son just tuned into RTV and is excited about some of the shows to be had.. Kinda raised my wife's eyebrows too.. We will try for some of the other signals soon..

Thanks for the great replies and great picture Dee_Ann.. Are the Rtv , Antenna TV and ThisTV simply over the air signals? thanks..

Well... I was making progress with a 'blindscan' but it has came to a screeching halt... A quick storm developed here in Norman OK the other day and dropped down a possible EF0 tornado. The 100ft powerpoles are all down that surround my neighborhood, some trees uprooted and my...

..Life is busy... but I did get to spend some time , and pointed at ( what I think ) is 97W. My signal strength was right at 50% and so I did a blind scan. This took awhile (10min ) but once completed, I did not know how to go and look at what I had just scanned. I'm sure this is...

I've located the operator manual for this receiver. I will read up on how to program a new channel, tomorrow, if I get a chance. BTW the weather is getting hot now.. .. but thats better than the 2 twisters that tried to upend my satellite dish just a few days ago. Thanks for asking...

also.. while scrolling through the menus on my receiver, the names of the birds are wrong. This receiver hasnt been used in awhile and it appears outdated. Do I need to update my receiver? and how should I accomplish this? thanks

Thanks for all the input. Can someone point me to the right section here at satguys to read up on my initial setup / installation.. I want to understand what Bob posted about inclination degrees in relation to my physical location and where I need to point . .. I actually installed a...

As I elevate my dish, where should my angle finder be placed on the dish in order to measure the angle desired? I'm thinking maybe on the arm which extends out to the lnbf... ? My dish (fortec star) does have inclination markings on the bracket, however there seems to be no...
