Problems with setting up CW-800S.
Dish 500, Twin Legacy LNB (119 & 110). Very good S & Q.
Satellite Name: 17.Echostar 7 (119W)
Transponder: 12239/H/20000/5/6
LNB Freq.: 11250
LNB Type:Normal
22 kHz: OFF
Diseqc Number: LNB 1
Legacy SW : SW21 Dish 1
Motorised System : OFF
Satellite Name: 23.Echostar 6,8 (110W)
Transponder: 12224/V/20000/5/6
LNB Freq.: 11250
LNB Type: Normal

Why does the "scrambeled message" keep appearing when changing channels? |

I understand what you are saying and I'll try this change. But why change it to DP if I have Legacy LNB on the dish? |

I read somewhere that the legacy and DP are not really the same. This is why I am asking. |

I will give it a try. in the meantime, another basic question.
I have dish 500 with legacy twin lnb (110 and 119) with 2 cables coming out of it to a DisceqC switch. I also have 61.5 going to the switch w/o any problems.
Why are there 2 cables coming out from the Dish 500? I one for 119 and the other for 110? or is it to have 2 receivers. Since I have 1 box, would it matter is I disconnect one of them? |

How to Timeshift with CaptiveWorks CW-800S - Instructions and Features
How to use feature:
1.) TO Time shift press PAUSE button and give it a few seconds to get ahead of real time then press PLAY when you want to watch. Press INFO button to remove the info bar at bottom. You can also FF and RW in time shift mode. Both RW and FF have a delay to start working about 2 seconds. To return to PLAY from FF or RW press PLAY again. To End Time shifting press STOP then it will return you to live play.
2.) To Record Press RECORD button and you will see a popup window that will ask do you want to RECORD CURRENT CHANNEL? If you answer YES then it will start record with a 2 second delay or if you answer NO it will give you a choice to record another channel on same TP, very nice feature, you can record another channel on same TP and watch the one you are on. All this with one tuner, impressive. When Recording starts you will see info bar at bottom giving name of show and time of recording and size of file as well as playtime. You will notice playtime is about 4 seconds behind. If you only want to record for a certain amount of time OTR press RECORD again on the remote it will say OTR 30min press again and will say OTR 60min then OTR 90min then OTR 120min and again OTR OFF When you want to end recording press STOP.
3.) To Playback press USB button and it will take you to the USB menus were you could find your recording. Scroll down to recording and press OK. If you press INFO button you can see progress bar. Now you have choices on playback. You can FF different speeds 2x, 4x or 8x, RW you also have the same. To stop FF or RW you need to press PLAY if you press FF or RW button again it advances to the next speed.
4.) Sizes of files save on recording is much better than CW100-R. It will record a file as large as 4g and the will start another file. 4g is plenty to record a show or movie or football game
5.) To delete recordings of any file on USB drive enter the USB menu and Highlight the file you want to delete and press SAT button and it will confirm you really want to delete it. Say YES and it is gone.
6.) Setting timer for recording from EPG is done the same way as in the CW600sp. Find the show you want to record then press the GREEN button you can change the setting RECORD to either ON or OFF and a timer will be setup for you. That is all you need to do. This will also start the recording even after a show as started but will only record till the end of that show.
7.) New update and channel list loading with USB Key Press USB key on remote select the .bin or .sdx file to download in receiver it will ask if you want to update software/database change to yes and press OK on the remote let it finish it will ask if you want to reboot change to yes and press OK on the remote, if you have updated the database it will say END on the receiver turn power OFF in the back of the receiver and back ON again this will reboot the receiver after updating the database check your settings after you download SDX file to your receiver .
8.) To adjust the sat signal press >>l press EXIT to get off the screen.
9.) To bring the key to the screen press page down on the remote. Remove from screen press EXIT
10.) To upload channel list to the USB key press USB on the remote then press FAV it will ask Do you want to upload database change to YES press OK on the remote it will make a file called Captive Works_CXDatabaseV1.00.SDX
11.) To populate the guide for B*V 91W put receiver on one of the channels of TP 12311 :
Channel 59,68,162,167,218,240,280,296,352,357,410,428,437, 510,Radio 965
Charlie:To get EPG to populate, leave your receiver on one of the following channels for at least 10 minutes: 146, 239, 418, 424, 427, 436, 572, 5814
==>
Q. How do I find the channels that populate the 7-day EPG?
A. Go to DISH Network on Anik F3 & EchoStar 7 at 119.0°W - LyngSat and search for "EEPG". The channels are grouped by transponder. Tune into any channel on the transponder that the EEPG channel is on, and you will receive 7-day EPG.
Q. How come the guide isn't populating fully? Or how come it's only populating channels on 110W but not 119W?
A. Check your time settings and make sure they are set.
==>
12.) Use SAT button in USB menu: USB TOOL
a. Delete File
b. Rename File
c. Disk Information
d. Format Disk
13.) When watching a recorded file you can skip 30 seconds FF and RW by pressing page UP or DOWN
I am sure I am missing a lot of things this box can do but more features will be coming out.
Remember the better the Hard Drive you use the better results for recording.

bruce 1, thank you for the helpful info. Installed bin 1.55 via the USB. I am getting channels (on and off), it's the "scrambeled channel" that is driving me crazy. It has to be in the setup, I am close. |
