    CW600S Captive Works

    Agreed, when I did a search for it I was seeing sales info and threads on it dating back to 2006 so very long in the tooth. Time for an upgrade IMHO. ;) Maybe try one of these. :) https://hypermegasat.com/all-products/ols/products/amiko-mini-hd265-fta-receiver...

    How things have changed

    It is bizarre that a discussiom on cable/sat sat numbers as a long term future trend can even become personal in the first place.

    CW600S Captive Works

    my understanding is that tat receiver is limited to SD/MPEG2/DVB-S. It will still work on many channels on 97W Ku but that's about it at this point. So unless that's what you're interested in, I would suggest getting a new box

    CW600S Captive Works

    Hello All I've been away (years) and my last receiver was a Captive Works CW600S. Is this receiver still OK or is it time to start looking at newer? Tnx

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    Discovered a limitation with the iphone 15 shooting 3D Spatial Video. Normally with the spatial video off, the iphone 15 will do really good image stabilization but in 3D that does not work. Neither does the zoom feature. I was shooting hand held for the Hiro show but was seated in a...

    Starlink & Directv

    I've been using the Directv app on my roku with no problems, like it better than using the receiver.

    DVB-S2X / DVB-S2 Minimum C/N Lock Calculator

    There's no single answer to your question. It depends. It depends on the parameters of the signal you are trying to receive. As the calculator shows, factors that affect your received signal include the DVB standard, type of modulation, the FEC value and the symbol rate. You need a big enough...

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    The closest streamer to the “ease” of satellite/cable is DIRECTV Stream and their Osprey box & remote. Sans DVR, Guide or channel numbers, everyone else does take a bit longer to navigate to those respective points, depending on where you are in their menus. That’s the only real negative in each...

    I just re-scanned 97W C-band and the ABC stations are gone. TVROSAT and Lyngesat doesn't show them. The 99W feeds are still present.

    Penske sweeps the front row, first time since 1988, which I've been informed is much longer ago than I want to accept. Veekay wasn't able to Fast 6 it, but will man the inside of Row 3. Ferrucci was able to join Larson and Rossi for the fast Six, getting Foyt's car into a shot at the poll...

    Teardown video/photos of Hopper 3 or similar receivers

    ^ Yup, that's what I was looking for. I guess all the chips and processors will remain a mystery, but my brother is an electrical engineer so can ask about some possibilities.

    DVB-S2X / DVB-S2 Minimum C/N Lock Calculator

    Since I'm not a math genius, can you clarify a bit what you mean by "a BIG dish"? Assuming I am in the continental US, would an 8 foot dish be big enough? 10 foot? 12 foot? Or some gargantuan dish that only a TV station or cable company would have? It looks like they switched the feed on the...
