Just got this beauty in today. Apparently it can run 13 receivers on a single wire.

I wonder of the receiver software will recognize this yet?

Wow, 13 tuners off one wire, which is an improvement off the SWM 16 which does 8 tuners on two wires (16 total).

I imagine the key to this product is a lower cost than the SWM16, which DirecTV seems very stingy with due to cost.

Perhaps if this lowest he cost of a complex install enough this could eventually pave the way to dual-genie setups.
 
3rd generation SWM maybe? We had way back SWM5/8, then they moved to SWMLNB / SWM16, now perhaps 3rd generation SWM13.
 
I wonder if there going to phase out the SWM 8 and just use 13's & up?

Ah, now I see what you mean! Looking at the size necessary to fit the electronics into a swm switch, it will be a while before they can fit that into an lnb.

Will I need some sort of dish change or hardware upgrade.

Will this dish work with current receivers?
