I have a question that can hopefully be answered by you guys. I had Directv install a 5lnb HD dish with a HR23 in my living room and a standard HD receiver in the bedroom. The house was already wired. I ran a second wire to the living room dvr myself so it would be properly concealed. We want a dvr in the bedroom however there is only one line run to that location and I don't want to run another line there. I got the 5LNB SWM part of the dish so I can just swap it out. I also have the 21v Power Inserter and a SWS8WB-P splitter. My concern is how to hook it up without frying my stuff. My system currently has 4 lines run from the dish to a grounded block with 3 lines hooked up in the house.
When I put the new swm lnb on the dish I'll have the single line coming down, but then what? I'm assuming I get rid of the existing 4 block piece and run the single line from the lnb into the sws8wb on the "in from swm" port. Then on the power pass portion of the sws8wb I run a wire to the "power to swm" port on the power inverter, and then from the power inverter's "to ird" port I go to the tuner 1(swm) port on my hd dvr? Then I can just run the rest of my receivers directly from the 8 way splitter? Is this correct? I can't find an exact diagram for the parts I have and the booklet that came with the power inverter says nothing about hookup using a splitter.
Thanks.
