You must of scanned the same sat twice, that will give you duplicate channels. When you scan sat's do one at the time then save and exit and scan the other sat. Go to menu/installation/factory default and default all.
Select your region settings and exit out when it ask to scan for channels.

Sat 119W is Echo 7, what is your signal and quality % on that sat. Also you have to make sure when you scan the sat's you have to set up your ports where it says Diseqc switch Select Port 1 for 119W and Port 2 for 110W ( even though CaptiveWorks switches should auto select the sats for it doesn't work every time) Sounds like you scanned the same sat twice or you didn't select ports in your settings. It should look something like this.


Now if you were to go into the menu>installation>antenna setup, and try to chose your sats, you may notice they are all screwed up, and trying to chose them will cause the receiver to reboot. You must first of all do a factory default. Go to menu>installation>factory default. You will now be able to chose your satellites and setup values. switches, etc.

You can setup the values for each sat separately if you wish, and scan each. However, the easiest way, especially for a first time user, is to simply go to menu>installation>easy tuning. You can use the down button to navigate between fields, and the right/left to select the desired value/sat/switch. You can use easy tuning to scan your channels if you have only one LNB, or if you have up to 4. A typical screen for 4 sats might look like this after you've chosen the desired values:

Status Satellite Diseqc LNB freq

ON----- Echo 7----- 1----- 11250

ON----- Echo 8,10-- 2----- 11250

Any ports you don't use, just set the status to OFF.

Now press OK and choose either FAST TUNING or AUTO TUNING to scan your sat(s). Fast tuning uses preconfigured tp/channel data, while auto tuning actively also looks for new data; it is recommended you use AUTO TUNING.

Note: at this time it appears that scanning multiple satellites renders a number of EPG channels listings as "prog xxxx" (where xxxx is the number of the channel) rather than the proper channel name or abbreviation. It is best then to simply autoscan (red button) each sat separately. You can do this from the easy tuning menu or the installation menu. After one scans in, just change the sat name to the next one you want to scan, make sure other settings are correct, and scan.

After your receiver finishes scanning, exit menus and go to any channel. Now you will perform the final step: enabling the patch (the top secret function that allows you to watch scrambled channels!).
Press F1
You will see "H"
Input "000"
The patch is now enabled!

There was some report from CW Ultima owners saying that they lost 119W without changing anything. It worked fine for them for months and now they are missing 119 sat.
