Yea, the sales guy just mentioned the two way splitter....got it confused with the the 8-16way IRD but

Too funny.

Thanks OSD, that price is about the middle of the range I was looking at....was just hoping it was a good one. I understand locking in 101 & 119 should be enough baring a bad mount or obstruction but

Hi guys/gals, Been gone a while but good to see most of the gang still helping out. I'm currently looking for a nice yet reasonable signal meter to align my Slimline dish's as needed. I always lugged a small TV, the SWiM, power supply & output splitter up to the roof when I needed some fine...

I've had my upgrade for over a week now & the thing is definitely operating on turbo mode ...I've never seen the guide interface this fast......hope it lasts too.

No, I just wanted to use one coax per room & this was one of the first products available that allowed this type of setup (It would have been prohibitive to run two coaxial cables to each room). The SWMLNB dish came along after if memory serves.

Yea Jim, I'm trying to eliminate some component before I go crazy on this. I have four lines coming in from the Slimline5 that feed directly into the SWM8...from there one line is fed into the SWM multiswitch input & then out to each room via the switch's outputs. Everything has worked...

I've run an SWM-8 system for the past two years with no problems until today I started losing Tuner 2 on one of the receivers. I have 5 receivers...2 H20's & 3 HR22's for a total of 8 tuners. As soon as I unplug a working twin tuner HR22 the malfunctioning tuner works fine. On one receiver I...

Very true, must watch TV using the DVR's fast forward option. They also seem to be having some audio/sync growing pains since switching to HD.

It might be Discovery, ESPN2, Audience Network & HBOeHD the first time & another set the next week. Your second question is accurate. Every once in a while I get a lemon of a software upgrade & this appears to be one of them; maybe I'll try to force a software upgrade on one of them if the CE...

No, the guide is there & fully populated but after a few days maybe 10 channels are just blank for certain time slots.

Yes, in the high 90's across the board.

Hello every1, Recently had my receivers (Hr22-100) upgrade to software version (OX4d1) & for some reason every 48hrs I'm missing the programs that should be populated in the guide window (Some time slots are just blank). It appears to happen to random channels each time; a repeat Satellite...

Looks like we got AMC in HD this morning according to their online/info mail service. It hasn't showed up in my guide yet but I doubt it's a tease. It could be my equipment anyway, my HR22's have been acting up lately since this last national software release came through....missing guide info...

You will be a new customer & should get something "free" or "discounted" even though you have your own equipment. You only get one time to negotiate as a new customer so I would ask for the world while you still maintain all the power. If movies are your thing, ask for specials on those. If...

Phase-3 dish, huh. Those were some of the easiest dish's to install & since all you need is 101 I'm betting you get that sucker done in 15 minutes once your mount is plumb. With a plumb mount we used to just spin the dish & hit signal; just a tad different these days when you are trying to hit 5...

I wish I could help you understand these "Blackouts" but if you call DTV they just read from the script about "other networks" must be carrying the game in your area. I know when it's a screw-up & the only satisfaction & resolution I ever got was dealing with Ellen Flipiak at corporate. This...

Thanks Randal, an interesting read on the expansion model layout.

Interesting, My SWM switch already has two outputs labeled SWM1 & SWM2 (bought them myself) so maybe all I need is to change the splitter from a 1x8 to a 1x16 or am I missing something? The below product is what I have & I know it says SWM-8 but it does have two outputs as mentioned earlier (SWM...

I have the SWM-8 setup & purchased the 8 output splitter for my equipment; either 8 separate receivers or 4 DVR's. I was wondering if I wanted to expand (going with all DVR's) could I simply replace the 8 output switch with the 16 output model? I have the 5 LNB slimline with four cables...

I know Terk used to ofer up them & you certainly can find one cheaper than this one. RS232 controlled DVI switch 4-in x 1-out - DVI Switcher Google & Ebay are your friends here, just do some surfing & I'm sure you will find one. You will also need to find a sound switch to separate all your...

As far as I know, Saturday night at 7 or 8pm is still the new movie release date for all the premium channels. Showtime sometimes comes in a little early with there's but that's about it. Cinemax changed about a year ago releasing there new Saturday night movie at 9pm......I guess they didn't...

You kinda have to laugh that they would support 20 yr old tubes but not their last HD picture tube. I have to say that it's my office TV & was probably on every day for 12hrs so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

No, the unit doesn't work as a stand-alone OTA tuner if you discontinue service. Either jump on Raul's very generous offer or buy a OTA tuner from a retailer....I think they are around $50. edit: If it stays connected to the Sat it will work according to the poster above me. I had heard that...

I'd make you an offer for that puppy if we lived in the same state if only for the spare parts. I've seen them on Ebay/Craigs List (pretty cheap) but I'd want to start with a working TV. Interesting note: They stopped production of the Tubes & thought they could get away with not supporting the...
