hr44 and hr22 have 150 timers combined, and 7 tuners
hs17 has 100 timers and 7 tuners minus any clients connected
hs17 is not an upgrade from what you have
Can You Get A 4k Free Upgrade Early?

Very interesting. I've never been a fan of WNC LNBs, so it doesn't shock me that switching manufacturers (and possibly spec) helped some #s.
Thanks, for that info. I hope I could get that 3D2RBLNBR0-14 installed when I would get my free upgrade.
Looks like I have the first gen.
So should I expect my Signal Strength to be lower than it is currently when I put it on ?
You likely won't se a difference on the SQ, Signal Quality on the receiver itself.

Didn't you say the first generation one the signal quality was bad? Or was that with that with that huge one with the three circles? Would all the ones with the single circle be the same with signal quality?
I believe he was talking about the levels on a meter you would use at the dish, those signals are usually much different than what you see on the recvr.
For example, on my meter at the dish I am peaked at 69 or 70 ... but in the house at the recvr, the recvr reads in the mid 90's to 100 for most of them.
I suppose different meters could read differently.
I wouldn't say that for sure, but any meter needs to be calibrated so that the error wouldnt be so extreme.
I'm referring to the actual signal power level on a meter. The signal quality you see on the receiver is a "friendly number" that tries to balance signal power, SNR and offset to give you a percentage but it can't always give you an indicator of a poor signal especially over long distances or when your signal power level at the LNB is already below spec.
In most circumstances a signal power level in the 30s or even low 40s is going to be ok. Each splitter of course reduces that signal level exponentially as well as the length of cable.
I definitely would not use a RB LNB with a signal level of -40 dBm on a 100 foot cable run to an 8 way, you're looking at at least 20 dBm of loss putting you way outside functional range.
However systems like that are rare, that's why I say in most situations you are ok and the difference (>10 dbm) between reverse band LNBs is negligible. That's as much difference as a 4 way splitter would cause.

I was also curious if I got the HS-17 with my free upgrade I was wondering how the new 13 tuner reverse band LNB works since the HS-17 says SWM 15 on the back of it, I think that has something to do with the two 4k tuners right? They would also replace the SWM 16 with the 13 tuner Reverse Band LNB right?
