One more question, under the motorized system setup screen, I have the following four choices: Save Position Go to Position Go to reference Go to X.X(11.0) and each one has an "ok" button to click on. What do these do?

Captive Works CW-700S Digiwav SG-2100 Motor Fortec 33" Dish I am trying to set up a motorized system using USALS. I have watched a Ytube video which said step one is to enter your latitude and longitude, which I did after searching around in the menus. After aiming the dish due south at 110 W...

Ok, changed the skew to the correct setting. I am using a $12 satellite signal meter and moving the satellite in any direction, reduces the signal strength. It now shows 99% signal strength and zero signal quality. Other things I shoud be checking such as all remaining settings associated with...

Beautiful, I had it set the wrong way.

I have set up my own dish with motor and it works great. Now am trying to set up a stationary dish for my mother in law but can't seem to get 97W dialed in. I have the dish mounted to two pieces of plywood, anchored down with the cross beams the mounting system came with and the plywood weighed...

Ok, thanks for all the input and the speed of the input. I got 97w, 123w and a couple of others so I would say I am good for the time being. Quite the learning experience. Thanks to all for input.

Yes, the LNBF is dual linear. This morning I had both 110 w and 97 w dialed in but could not get 123w. I have reset the receiver and the motor twice again this am but am trying to resolve the following issue. Before I reset the motor, I could select a satellite from the preset list and the...

Beautiful. Thanks for the detailed instructions. Will be out there with first light tomorrow am to try these. Where can I get a SG2100 manual? It sure didn't come in the box. Download from the manufacturer site perhaps?? This afternoon I locked on to 110 w (due south of me) I believe. When I...

One more thing. Just re-read the instructions again and there is a value for the "Declination Angle" of 5.241. This is apparantly associated with the angle setting between the motor and the dish. The scale marked on the side of that assembly goes from 30 to 70 so not sure what to do with 5.241 ???

Digiwav SG-2100 motor Fortec 33" dish Captive Works CW-2100S For Tucson, AZ, the values for 97W are: Elevation 49.6 AZ 155.3 LNB Skew -20.7 Latitude 32.2 Longitude -110.8 Without the motor, on a fixed mount, I had an installer use a birdog to dial in 97W so I know it works. Now the...

97w scrambled The receiver came Fedex with CaptiveWorks itself as the sender and I bought it as new. So, I suspect it actually is new. Suggesting I reload the latest software is a good one. My understanding is download from website, put on thumb drive, stick in receiver and use the update...

I tried the shut down, wait awhile and restart option and voila, it worked. Thanks for all the help from yourself and all other posters. Next, a motor!!

I got the feeling he had used up his entire knowlege base in this area when he left and couldn't think of anything else to try. I'm not happy about it but after trying five different companies, noone was willing to come work on FTA so the first person willing to at least come out and look, I...

How did I get the channels on the receiver? There are six versions of scanning on the Captive Works CW-700S. The are: under "Antenna Setting": Auto Network Blind Scan Transponder under "Easy Tuning" Fast Tuning Auto Tuning I have tried each of these in no particular order with same...

Yes, all channels were still scrambled after the installer left. I will try the power down, wait awhile and then power up idea. Anythings worth a try at this point.
