New member Username: TonyallPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-09 | Hi there I had the cw-600s installed by a friend for me about 6 monthe ago. It was up for 2 days, then I took it down. Now I want to set it up again but by friend is awol. I did a factory reset. I have tried auto scan, manual search and other searches but I cannot get a single channel to come in. In particular, I am trying to get a single channel to come in and it is on G25/G3/L5 or the Ku side of the Telstar 5 satellite - KU_Telstar5(97degrees) west. Can you tell me how I can do this? Thanks |

New member Username: TonyallPost Number: 2 Registered: Aug-09 | I reset the receiver and unpluged it. The echostar super dish is still on the roof. I do not know what kind of LNB is on that dish. Also, I have a 10' dish that I used to get T5 on. I took the Ku feed connected to the cw600 did a scan and still no channels. |

Silver Member Username: ChumleyPost Number: 524 Registered: Dec-08 | There is always a different view on things... You say if he has echostar then he has linear lnb.. I only know of echostar 9 that uses linear lnb and would not assume he would be aimed at that sat, i would assume he would be aimed at 61.5 , 110 , 119,129 all circular lnb. then again I don't have the knowledge that comes with 10,000+ posts |
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 10554 Registered: Jan-08 | Ben Sorry the good answer is here! If you get Echostar, your LNB is Circular, for get Globecast 97W you must have a 33" dish and a linear LNB. ![]() Chumley You can see that both we can do few errors. I hope you don't copy and past this on each of my thread as usual. Thanks for notified it! ![]() |

New member Username: TonyallPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-09 | Can you guys tell me exactly what you are saying? Are you saying that the dish I have cannot pickup the T5 satellite at all? Are you saying I have to aim the dish in a different direction? I am willing to do anything I have to do to get this satellite. By the way, when I scan the Ku_Telstar5 satellite I get a strength reading of about 30 with 0 quality on some transponders and a strength of about 65 with a quality of about 30 on others, but no channels |
Bronze Member Username: Plymouth_glasserPost Number: 99 Registered: Apr-09 | Tony All realign your 10' dish it must be out of alignment. |
New member Username: TonyallPost Number: 4 Registered: Aug-09 | That sounds like a plan. Except, I can get the digital channels on W5, G3 and the Sheperd Network on G4-16. So I am thinking that since I can get these satellites and channels then the dish's alignment is ok. Is my thinking true here? Thanks |
Silver Member Username: Plymouth_glasserPost Number: 114 Registered: Apr-09 | Tony Al So I am thinking that since I can get these satellites and channels then the dish's alignment is ok. Is my thinking true here? YES You need an Analog Pass-Through DTV Converter Box Cheers |
New member Username: TonyallPost Number: 5 Registered: Aug-09 | I am using the DSR922 4DTV receiver, isn't this receiver suppose to handle all things digital? Just to be on the safe side look at this radio shack item - http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3706352 Is this what you are talking about? |
Silver Member Username: Plymouth_glasserPost Number: 125 Registered: Apr-09 | Tony All....you started your thread Ben Marshall Hi there I had the cw-600s installed by a friend for me about 6 monthe ago. Now you are saying I am using the DSR922 4DTV receiver, isn't this receiver suppose to handle all things digital?YES Look with a 10 foot dish a DSR922 4DTV receiver and a Combo Ku/C-band LNB. You should have no trouble to receive all channels on these Birds. It looks to me that your friend set you up with two systems one for C-band and one for Ku now you want to use your C-band to also pickup Ku. Possible cause, your 10 foot dish has a C-band LNB. |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 15846 Registered: Jun-06 | Tony All: Telestar 5 (Intelsat Americs 5) till 2007 changed its name to Galaxy 25. It was at 97 degrees West till late 2008, when it was replaced by Galaxy 19, which is the Sat at 97W now, and it is a mixed C/Ku band dish. Galaxy 25 moved to 93W, and is now a strictly KU band Dish. I trust you will be able to rephrase your question and needs based on this current situation of Sats, their names and their broadcasts. |
Silver Member Username: ChumleyPost Number: 532 Registered: Dec-08 | Nalin, the cw600s has telestar5 listed at 97w- maybe you should contact cw and tell them to update their software ![]() I trust you will refrain from your pompousness. ![]() |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 15850 Registered: Jun-06 | Chumley aka justforhaha's aka LK: Don't talk BS to me. Somebody may have Nimiq 2 listed at 81W, but it is Nimiq 4 now. They have all got to upgrade their knowledge. If you do not want to positively accept change then go and take a dive in your Largo Key. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 15873 Registered: Jun-06 | Idiot: Can't you see that there has been a transmision problem on the internet and the last two bits of 01000010 got inverted in transmision and now they have changed to 01000001. Gosh! I tried to teach you two years ago what inversion of bits can do and you just had to philibuster with your profanity. |
