Here is a how to. This refers to older bins and software. You must install the new and updated software. The Complete CW600S How To I have to thank all the people who have written and compiled all the previous How To's because the bulk of my learning experience has come directly from their threads. Thanks to mrokarvi, fun4me, skittles, and Captive Works. Without your experience, understanding, and patience, countless numbers of people would be stuck wondering how to fix their STB's. ABSOLUTELY FIRST AND FOREMOST Captive Works Released 2 versions of the CW600S, a standard receiver and a Premium receiver.

THIS HOW TO IS ONLY FOR STANDARD RECEIVERS! Loading any standard receiver files to your premium receiver can possibly damage the receiver beyond repair.

To identify what type of receiver you have, look at the front panel on the right hand side of the receiver. You should see the CaptiveWorks logo followed by CW-600S. If you have a PREMIUM receiver, then you will see the word PREMIUM under the CW-600S. If the word PREMIUM is not found on the front right side of the receiver then you have a standard receiver and you can continue with rest of the How To. If you have a PREMIUM receiver, then you need to check the How To 's in the PREMIUM section found here. Passwords txt. HXXp://forums.f2atv.com/forumdisplay.php?f=677 DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! If you do not have the proper cable, then no amount of setting changes or software will allow you to download the updates you need.

The serial cable you need is called a Null Modem Serial Cable. This cable uses the serial comm port on your computer. Most websites provide the correct cable with the purchase of a receiver. If you did not receive one of these cables when you purchased your receiver then they can be purchased at your local RadioShack, Best Buy, or Circuit City as well as numerous online sites including several of the site sponsors. I do not recommend using the serial cable from another receiver or device unless you absolutely positive that it is as Null Modem Serial Cable.

The other common type of cable is a simple straight through serial cable like what is used with the Fortec and Pansat receivers. The cables look the same but have internal differences.

FILES Once you have ensured that you have the correct cable, you need to download several files from the site. Each of the following links contain software critical to properly updating your receiver. DOWNLOAD ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SOFTWARE EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU WILL EVER USE IT. Summer 06 OSD update. This file contains two loader software versions (V1.04 and V1.05) from Captive Works as well as the new OSD bin files (CX_KroundV1.06_24138Chip.bin and CX-LoaderV2.50.bin).

The following link is the V1.14 factory bin. Installing this software will convert the receiver back to factory standards while removing the ability to de-scramble channels. With this bin installed on the receiver, you will only be able to pick up true FTA channels. HXXp://forums.f2atv.com/showthread.php?t=101551 MOST RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATE Most of the users on this site are here for this software. These updates are software updates that are not supported by Captive Works. These updates allow the receivers to use DN and BEV channels.

This is done through hexidecimal 'Keys'. The software updates make the receiver capable of using these 'Keys' while usually automatically updating the key information for you. This feature is called Auto Roll. At the time of this writing, the most current software update was 'CW600SV1.7.bin'. From here on out, these updates will be referred to as 'bin files'.

You will need to check the FILES ONLY section for the CW600S Standard to know which file you need. When new updates are available, these are usually the first sticky at the top of the page.

You will be glad you did this later. THE UPDATE PROCESS This process is one that can be found in many places in the forums. MrOkarvi has a How To that contains this information. This Process has been worded to include a more detailed process.
