Hello all!

I just aquired a CW600S, first thing I did was Hook it up to my tv set and hooked up Sat Cable and all I get is 4 zeros in front display of CW600S. TV shows a yellowish screen with a picture of something that looks like a sun (I Think thats what it is). Now I have tried downloading the factory bin, I saw the front LED display changing numbers so it looked like it was uploading then it read END! I unplugged the RS232 cable then I hooked up my CW600S back on to my TV and Sat Cable and still the same. Does this mean anything? Can this be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Since you can't get it going with the Factory bin, contact CaptiveWorks and see if they can help you. But first, be sure that you've tried the following loader and firmware bin off the CaptiveWorks website:

CW-600S Loader: Version 2.50 - Download Here 03.24.06
CW-600S Firmware: Version 1.14 - Download Here 02.20.07

How are you hooking up your receiver to the TV----coax? SVHS? Component?
Composite ?
A little more info would be helpful.
What Channel do you have selected on the back of your receiver CH3 or Ch4 ?
