Captiveworks are great boxes, that being said refer to the site rules pay attention to rule 6 and edit your post accordingly there is no discussion of that here

Here is a link to the latest file for a 600S PREMIUM

load the file then through the menu on the box do a factory reset, then setup your sats, then do your channel scans, find a free channel make sure that you have video on it, then press F1, 000, it should say "Patch Enabled" on the screen then turn to a regular channel and wait for it to roll to the proper keys it should only take a few minutes then you should be good to go

once you load the aftermarket bin you may find that the Sat list has changed

I have captiveworks too, my friend after you load the bin file, do the factory default will solve your problem. :beer:

Bin 139 is for your Captiveworks premium..although 138 might still be working.
139 just had some extras on it for those who hook up the pvr to the premium.

So i would just load 139 and do then a factory default..now set up your settings such as lnb type and scan your channels..then enable the patch by pressing F1 then 000.

If you did not enable the patch after loading 138 then you will see nothing.

If you had put a captiveworks 600 bin on the premium by mistake then usually just by loading the premium factory bin will get thing back to normal.

But like i said the 139 bin is for the premium.

Just the same as the bin files that come as rar..these are compressed files and need to be uncompressed by using winrar. there is a copy here for download.

Try this bin, it says recorder fix but it is for the cw 600premium it is a newer bin than the 1.38 that you have on there now and I think the 1.38 is having trouble rolling so try this bin and post your results

Good advice to yourself.. Firedude:yes: best to peak your dish to the high 80's 90's. you need Quality.you will be fine after that.:yes:
