Re: which cw 600?
Yes, the Serial Cable from your Captain unit will work in this instance with your CW unit as they both require a NULL cable. This is not always the case with every unit, but in this case, it should make things easier.

Re: which cw 600?
You might be able to use the menu system and find the receiver info page and that should tell you.

Re: which cw 600?
Did you get the remote with that box? If so does it say premium on it?

Re: which cw 600?
if you have a cable just try it, if it wont work it shouldnt hurt your stb, it will just say error on your pc screen.

Re: which cw 600?
they sure don't have the quality of your captain 7100.your going to miss that one.(and probably now realize just how nice it was).
but the premiums (beside their really,really,really poor cheap remotes) have some good features.you should like it pretty good.but their will be a place in your heart for that captain 7100 RIP. 
and so it sadly come to be.
the captain 7100 usb went down with a little "poof" with little fan base.
perhaps the best widely unrecognized fta receiver of all time. |
