I am not uploading the file here becasue it is too big to upload. I would recomend downloading from the CW official site or using your CW 3000 HD connected to internet.

The 1.0.1.8 update for the CW-3000HD has been released. The highlights of this update are a remote fix to eliminate the buttons disappearing, some scanning tweaks, boot time disk scanning changes, ability to disable adapters with no satellite connection, recent systems can install a hard drive and backup and restore functions.

The disabling of adapters needs to be explained a bit. For those of you with dual tuner systems or other situations where you have tuners with no feed connected you can now disable those tuners. After applying this update and restarting the system you will be presented with a screen that will allow you to disable any tuners that do not have satellite feeds. This should help with the black screens on channel changes. Just disable any tuners that you have in your system that do not have feeds. The screen can also be found at Admin-> Configuration-> Adapter Setup.

Backup and restore functions allow you to save a system configuration to a CDR(W) disk. This will backup all channel lists, user profiles and system settings so they may be restored in the event something really bad happens. You can access these functions from Admin-> Updates-> Backup or Restore. The intent is that you get the system configured so that you are satisfied with it's function and then run the backup to save the configuration. In the event something bad was to happen you can then use that disk to restore the settings. In the case of a complete system restore this will also reinstall a hard drive if one was configured at the time of the backup and will attempt to keep all recordings and media files that are there intact.

The scanning tweaks should help with those of you that have been having problems with the last couple updates.
