CaptiveWorks CW-600S Premium

[ftajjyohn]

Hello,
I was just wondering if the blind scan option on the premium actually does work. My understanding is no but I wanted to confirm that. I have the box myself and I've been doing a blind scan and I noticed when it does do the blind scan some of the transponders that it is scanning for channels doesnt have quality? It's some weird 3 step process.

Also, has anyone updated this box's info using SatCoDX. I seem to have a problem where when I do update the info I get blank satellites added and not all the satellites I select are uploaded into the receiver. (sometimes I get AMC 5, blank, blank, AMC 5, and so forth)

Thanks for any help!

I have the older 600 model (non premium) and the blind scan is...well...blind...as in it wont find anything

I had a Premium for about a week, I picked it up locally...it was just about as good for true FTA as a brick with a coax hooked to it. Sorry.

I ebay'ed it.

My CW-600S Premium will not receive PBS on AMC-3. I scanned AMC-3 with a Pansat 2500A and got all the active transponders but NOTHING with CaptiveWorks Premium. It cannot pick up White Springs TV on G-27-Echostar 5.

I'm not sure if it is a software problem or hardware? I have reported it to CaptiveWorks but no response.

I am using a prime focus 10 foot Ku band dish with 0.4 db lnbf. Should be enough gain out of this setup.

I had one before trading it in for a Merc. It is easy to find sats, even if you pole is off. It scans until it hits a signal. That's kinda nifty. I manually added a bunch of TPs and don't remember not getting anything. It also had a nice picture. So I had all the channels with a nice picture.

That being said, I traded it in for the Merc.

what channels do you not have?

 

[McGuyver]

it says no channel, i think i need to download a file, ????

what satellite are you trying to get? what channels did you lose? we need to know in order to help you.

What kind of dish do you have?

Does this shortfall in blind scan abilities apply to Captiveworks across the board? I am currently looking at the 800 pvr. But if it can't do a decent blind scan then that will be the end of that idea.

Looks like the day for being banned. We don't help people steal dishnetwork here. Read the rules again.
