Gold Member Username: SatscannerBeaversbush, Sportsmans P... Great White ... Post Number: 2575 Registered: Nov-06 | Dn is very agressively changing keys this afternoon ,the keys changes we have to wait while they roll, a nusance but thats all it is. |
Gold Member Username: SatscannerBeaversbush, Sportsmans P... Great White ... Post Number: 2576 Registered: Nov-06 | ok, I've figured out the CW600p has a freezing issue with the 143 bin,rock the channel when this happens with the scrambled window open and your back to tv instantaneously. |
New member Username: Red_viiPost Number: 7 Registered: Aug-07 | SatScanner i didn't quite get what you said in the last post. What do you mean by "rock the channel"? Also, the patch is enabled. I made sure it was, and I disabled it and enabled it again. I did transfer the 1.43 bin in the receiver with a 1.06 loader, and my options were "Download S/w" and "Com1" ... i waited till it went to -end. So what am I missing now? |
New member Username: Red_viiPost Number: 8 Registered: Aug-07 | ok i think you were right in a sense SatScanner, i went back to the tv and the channels were working. I dunno how, but they worked all by themselves. What's the deal? |
Gold Member Username: SatscannerBeaversbush, Sportsmans P... Great White ... Post Number: 2588 Registered: Nov-06 | Thats just the reciever getting the updated keys from the sat stream inserting them and locking then in.Rocking the channel means just switching the chn up or down one channel,gives it a wake up or shock [gets it out of a temp freeze.] kinda like windows...hehe |
Gold Member Username: SatscannerBeaversbush, Sportsmans P... Great White ... Post Number: 2589 Registered: Nov-06 | oh ,only thing I wish this receiver had was some counter or word saying autoroll or some notice keys are in fact rolling,rather than just "scrambled'. |
New member Username: ResponsepostPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-07 | Hi, I am trying to upload my bin file. I am using loader V1.06. I have a USB connection from my computer and at the end of it I have a null modem cable (in order to connect to the back of the CW600 Premium that I have). Before I do anything, I turn off the receiver at the back and hold the front start button - when I turn it on it reads "boot". I then load the file (and it gets verified) and click on loader start button but nothing happens. The status bar reads 0 percent. I have been waiting for 30 minutes -- still nothing. I have installed the software to recognize the USB device (and it did). I really have no other idea as to what the problem could be. I am not sure if it is the USB cable device that is the problem (perhaps the mating to the null modem cable with two female ends is not correct -- although the store I bought it at said that this is how it's done). Can anyone help me please? Thank you in advance, RPC |
Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 10713 Registered: Jan-06 | CW Premium....all U need to know -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- courtesy of therepo.. Here's what you'll need: Null modem cable (probably got one with your receiver) Loader v1.06 or v1.05 (you can use either) , then the Latest bin (download these from file section here) Here's what you do: 1. Download loader and bin to your computer. Unzip the bin and copy it to somewhere you can find it easily when browsing from your loader. 2. With the receiver turned off on the rear switch, connect it to your computer via the null cable. 3. Put your machine into either (a) STANDBY or (b) BOOT mode (you can load it either way). (a) To get it to STANDBY mode, turn the receiver's rear switch ON, and when you see 00:00 on the display, turn OFF using the FRONT button; you will then see --:-- (STANDBY). (b) To get to BOOT mode, hold the front power button, and turn the rear switch ON; you will see "boot" displayed. 4. Open the loader and browse for the bin where you saved it unzipped. Select it and click start. 5. Wait until you see "end", then you can power off the receiver and disconnect from computer. You have successfully upgraded your software! ------------- Now to scan for channels! Hook your receiver up to your TV and connect the coaxial cable from your dish(es) to the LNB IN connector. When you first turn it on, it will take you through an few automated setup procedures, like language choice, and so on. Now if you were to go into the menu>installation>antenna setup, and try to chose your sats, you may notice they are all screwed up, and trying to chose them will cause the receiver to reboot. You must first of all do a factory default. Go to menu>installation>factory default. You will now be able to chose your satellites and setup values. switches, etc. You can setup the values for each sat separately if you wish, and scan each. However, the easiest way, especially for a first time user, is to simply go to menu>installation>easy tuning. You can use the down button to navigate between fields, and the right/left to select the desired value/sat/switch. You can use easy tuning to scan your channels if you have only one LNB, or if you have up to 4. A typical screen for 4 sats might look like this after you've chosen the desired values: Status Satellite Diseqc LNB freq ON----- Echo 7----- 1----- 11250 ON----- Echo 8,10-- 2----- 11250 ON----- Nimiq 1,3-- 3----- 11250 ON----- Nimiq 2---- 4----- 11250 Any ports you don't use, just set the status to OFF. Now press OK and choose either FAST TUNING or AUTO TUNING to scan your sat(s). Fast tuning uses preconfigured tp/channel data, while auto tuning actively also looks for new data; it is recommended you use AUTO TUNING. Note: at this time it appears that scanning multiple satellites renders a number of EPG channels listings as "prog xxxx" (where xxxx is the number of the channel) rather than the proper channel name or abbreviation. It is best then to simply autoscan (red button) each sat separately. You can do this from the easy tuning menu or the installation menu. After one scans in, just change the sat name to the next one you want to scan, make sure other settings are correct, and scan. After your receiver finishes scanning, exit menus and go to any channel. Now you will perform the final step: enabling the patch (the top secret function that allows you to watch scrambled channels!). Press F1 You will see "H" Input "000" The patch is now enabled! Now just sit on a scramble channel and wait for the autoroll function to grab the active key. If you have both DN and Bev sats, you will need to go to a channel for each to await autoroll (remember Bev takes a little longer, six minutes or more). You will see it grabbing the keys, wait for it to grab both sets; reboot unit if necessary if it remains scrambled after grabbing the keys, or if audio is not present. Now open a beer and watch TV! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a How Tos guide for all of the features available in CW600s Premium.

New member Username: ResponsepostPost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-07 | Thanks LK, I did all this but my damn receiver is not being updated (I am really frustrated). My attempts to download the new bin are not even starting (I waited well over 30 minutes and nothing happened). What could be wrong? These cables are brand new and they work. I am at my wits end with this thing. Any suggestion that you have would be appreciated. Thanks again, RPC |
Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 10729 Registered: Jan-06 | possible wrong cable or serial port (NOT USB port)...U need to explain what the error message U get is...what happens? U need a SERIAL port...NOT USB...thats your problem....most adapters with their installed drivers will NOT work, but a few will...its hit or miss.. |
New member Username: ResponsepostPost Number: 4 Registered: Aug-07 | Hi LK, My computer only has USB. It has no serial excpet for one that is a female (15 hole) that I think is a DVI or monitor port. So, what you are saying is that I am up a creek without a paddle. Great...geez I should have bought the receiver with the SD card in it. So, will a another USB adaptor work and if so - can you tell me if you know a make that actually works? I'm completely frustrated because I did all my reading on this web site for over two months. Plenty of information here for me to be able to get my box up and going and what I am hearing (and seeing) is that I am a victim of shitty compatability. Thanks again LK, RPC |
New member Username: ResponsepostPost Number: 5 Registered: Aug-07 | Hi LK, I get no error message - nothing happens at all. I load the file - it gets verified and then I click on start - and I just wait and wait and wait - - ultimately - for nothing to happen. It's as if the computer and the receiver are not communicating at all. RPC |
Platinum Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 10732 Registered: Jan-06 | U are correct...they're NOT communicating...either get an old serial port computer ...or U may get lucky with another USB adapter with drivers...also make sure u are using the cable that came with the receiver and its secured tight... |
