New directv swm 13 switch

[Claude Greiner]

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?

 

[Drucifer]

13 receivers? Or 13 tuners?

 

[jcrandall]

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.

This will actually work for loop through wiring for hotels or motels over RG59

Pretty cool

I would guess the 3 designates its the set up that sees 3 Sats.

 

[twizt3dsist3r]

Yea but it's capable of reading 110 and 119 so that makes 5

3rd generation SWM maybe? We had way back SWM5/8, then they moved to SWMLNB / SWM16, now perhaps 3rd generation SWM13.

It's a cool looking switch. When are they going to make a switch that just runs just one Swm wire

What do you mean?

That is just 1 swm wire for up to 13 tuners

 

[Blackloz]

I wonder if there going to phase out the SWM 8 and just use 13's & up?

What do you mean?

What I mean is where you can run one wire from the lnb and not 4 line drop

 

[raoul5788]

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.

 

[Satftafan]

Running those 3 extra lines can be a real pita at times

You would think its possible as 8 swm channels could in theory carry all 8 satellite polarities.

When will the SWM 13 officially be released?
