I just recently purchased a directv (slim Line) Hd dish that i am going to install on my own. The dish came with a HD SlimLine Three LNB3 Ka/Ku Slim Line LNB 3 that has 4 cable connection outputs on the LNB. I have not began to install the dish but my question is if I will need to purchase a Directv 21 Volt Power Inserter for my install. I am only going to use the dish/lnb to power one HD receiver. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
Do I need to buy a Directv 21 Volt Power Inserter for my new Directv HD dish?

Welcome to SatelliteGuys! you would only need the power inserter with a SWM LNB, the one you describe is not SWM ...
LNB Model Number
The model number of the LNB is SL3K4NR0-02. This may help answer the question as well

If the LNB on the dish has more than one output then it IS NOT SWM and it powered by the individual receivers.
You will not be able to use a H25 with that LNB, you'll need to get a H24.

to Satelliteguys mattgoody10!As others mentioned, no power inserter needed with the non swm lnb you have. You will need a b band converter, two if you have a dvr.
Oops, forgot about those damn things. Guess I've been using SWM too long (6 months?, lol)
