How do you set up a HD Receiver?

[hectorj]

What are the requirements to set up a HD receiver like the new 4000HD by Captiveworks?




Lets say i order the Turbo HD by Dish, they will set it all up for me, all i would need to do is connect the cable to the HD receiver like the CW800PVR or is it different?

A HD tv and being pointed to the right sat, no special dish needed.

i got the dish 500 satellite... will that work?

If you order HD fron DN then yes they should set everything up for you. You still have to know what type of lnb and switches they used. Also you need the 8psk addon to get HD channels from DN.

cool!!... so its not the same set up as the regular dish then? because i have it, guess im gonna have to cancel that and get the cheapest HD package

4000HD CW doenst come with the 8psk?? i heard it cost like $100-$150 :eek:

None of the receivers come with the 8psk addon. You have to buy that seperately and more than likely DN has to come and install another dish for you. More than likely you have a dish 500 pointed to 119 and 110 so you are also going to need 129.

thats the cw4000hd specs, does that mean anything? where can i buy it if its not installed?

[ufcwatcher]

Try viewsats.com or ftapros. They should carry everything you need.

but it does say it has it, i googled and theres forums that say its the first receiver to have it installed..

check the specs! ;)

so im just gonna get the TurboHD by Dish and have them set it all up and get the cheapest package and then buy the receiver when its available... :clap

[ufcwatcher]

Yeah. I see that. From what I have been reading it seems that no one has done that for legallity issues. The nfusion HD was going to do it but they changed their minds. CW may be the first one to do it and not care.

I think CW-4000HD is also a 1080p full HD receiver also

Yes the CW-4000HD is the first receiver to offer both 1080p output and built-in 8psk to receive the signal! I ordered my unit and expect to receive it tomorrow!

I'm trying to get started on this unit, It has a different color code from the 600s and 700s,i have everything hook up correct i believe, scanned all the channels and put the latest file on and still nothing,i'm matching the jacks on the TV to the jacks in the back of the reciever and still nothing, just what could i be doing wrong or could someone tell me do i have something right ....Very frustrating

[brucedee]

Since the 4000 comes w/a computer hook-up how does one hook the computer up, I'm following everything that the onscreen manual is telling me but i'm running into all kinds of issues, it seems like i don't have all of the wiring, i know it there for a reason...do i need to purchase anything for the use of the computer(Internet) cable wise..I feel like Gilligan(Skipper,Skipper)could someone throw me a lifesaver(not the candy),any help would go a long way.:cool:

Please take a look of the attached file; is a procedure for setup the CW4000HD according to my problems until final success. It too long to be posted.
Regards.

Note: Right now the key updates are not functioning thru the usb port; have to be downloaded from the CW ftp site and then use UPDATE, install.
