You need to determine what your true south satellite is and make sure you have a clear path to the south. A cw receiver will work well with sd channels but it is a bit dated and no hd. What size of a dish are you putting up? What lnbf are you planning on using?

if cw700 stands for captiveworks 700? i could find no info on if it does DVB-S2 transponders.
The c-band game almost requires that. much S2 and some good HD stuff up there.
I think the Dreamlink T5 is about all out there that does S2 and Turbo.
i do not have a T5 , it failed one requirement for me.
i have an X2 hd i use for c-band.

Look at the lyngsat info for transponders and the good C-band Birds channels.
You may need to adjust your receiver accordingly.
what c-band content are you looking for, spanish, sports, tvshows, ect?

i am not on everyday, but i am a c-band nut and will try to answer.
if you dont get an answer, PM me, i will eventually see that!

edit - ah, i see costactc already beat me to an answer. I know him from other forums and he is pretty sharp.

I have several x2 receivers which are excellent for true fta and especially c band and quite inexpensive. What type of setup are you using on c band?

I would aim for 99 degree satellite. You get some feeds, some networks and all in all the best SD only sat.

in THIS BOX HERE which is on the amplifer in front of it it has a small k and a small DOT at 35.

to turn my dish I am using the disque -1 and THE CW 700 PREMIUM RECEIVER

WHAT SATELLITE DO I ZERO IN ON TO TRY TO GET A PICTURE
DO I DELETE ALL THE SATELLITES ON THE CW 700 AND JUST LOAD THE FACTORY FILE

[Costactc]

99w, as stated in previous post, is a great sat to start with. You don't have to delete anything, that's up to you-backup your info on usb and load factory file.
