These switches effectively allow you to split a single line from your DIRECTV dish into two, just as you would a line from the cable company. This may not seem like a big deal, but if you have an old house and don&#8217;t want to run additional wires down from the dish, this multiswitch solves the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The switch works with the new 5LNB dish, and requires all 4 lines from the dish to run into the SWM. This means that the SWM would have to be installed at the dish or anywhere else in your house where the 4 lines meet.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have the four lines in, you need a special power device (a &#8220;power inverter&#8221;). From there, you will run a single wire from the output of the SWM, which can split and power multiple receivers, with a single wire feeding TWO tuners!<\/p>\n<p>The SWM will ONLY do it&#8217;s magic with DIRECTV&#8217;s newest HD equipment&#8211;the HR20, HR21, H20 and H21. If you have older &#8220;legacy&#8221; receivers (including DIRECTV TiVo receivers), the SWM has outputs (legacy ports) for those receivers, but you have to run two dedicated lines out from the legacy ports to those receivers.<\/p>\n<p>We currently carry the SWM8 multiswitch, which can power up to 8 tuners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have finally gotten our hands on the DIRECTV SWM multiswitch.
