    Default Odds and Evens - Controling??

    Getting a bit bored with not being able to do a few things so I've jumped onto an ole favourite. Referring to the Octagons 'CW' odds and evens. Now as long as I have a 'code' for one at a time, I get pics. If I have no code, then no pics. Fair enough.
    BUT, what if I get both codes at the same time? Do they confuse or cancel each other out?
    That's what I get for the 10mins on the FBO and a few 'unnamed channels'

    I'm sure the same applies to a Dreambox as the icon is 'green' but no pics.

    Is there a way of controlling the odds and evens or is this a firmware issue etc??

    Again, getting a bit bored, time to learn some more.
    Cheers, Saintaholic

    Default odds and evens

    They rotate about every nine seconds. If they stop rotating (stall) you lose pics. If you don't have any pics and push the green button you will see all zeros. I think from memory you get the odds and evens on all the standard def channels and the doubles for the HD and FBO channels. Not sure if you can control them or not. I did try to copy them once to see if there was a sequence over a given time. Never did answer that question, I gave up. I did pull up something once where i could input control words but can't remember where. Rainy day job to get back to.

    Thanks.

    There is one HD channel I get pics with (using my Bluey) and the control word (CW) is showing only odd OR even at one time. Not both. So that's really my question.

    Your saying that other HD channels receive both at the same time. I cant confirm this.

    Default Cw's

    Just delving back into my memory, i now recall i got the double cw issue while jagging the FBO channels. They would run double cw's instead of odds and evens and would last for up to 10 minutes then freeze and you would lose pics. FBO and HD channels should run alternating odds and evens about every nine seconds to stay connected and not as i suggested before. Hope that clears it up for you.
