Is that an official Trade Mark?
Still stupid!!!
yeah it's real, sorry about the size, i have no idea how to make it smaller.
I just got D* installed on Saturday, and it was a SWiM install. It is so much cleaner to have only 1 cable going to the DVR's, it also seems to be a much simpler install.
I see it on the multiswitch boxes that I install.
As far as the pic, just did a google search.

Question for you. Just got those new switches. Wired up the way I did with the old switches, did not work. I was told that these switches have to have the power inserter before the switch. Do you know?
No, never did it that way myself. I heard of other guys doing something like this but I don't really know if it's better, worse, or what.
It's all power passing, if hooked up correctly I'm sure you can't go wrong either way.
I do know that if you connect the IRD to the PI swm port, you with DOB your IRD.
Interesting info about the logo. However, I don't see it spelled as SWiM in the feature list of the unit. And I didn't see it shown on the DirecTV website even though it's listed as a registered trademark of DirecTV.
IMHO, it's still stupid.

Well when i watch the FYI videos that are required for In House Techs to watch. they put the i on the M's first part of the M letter. instead of saying SWM system. they said SWIM bc the switch is then swimming from the Tuner 1 to tuner 2 even though a cable is NOT hooked up to the tuner two calling it a Swim over from tuner 1 to 2.
so when you tell the customer, you say SWIM rather than SWM.

google SWM and get the SWM and if you google SWiM you get that too.
on my Resolution codes, SWiM is spelled on it like that.

I am having trouble understanding why you think it is stupid?!?It's a gimmick and still stupid.
SWM or SWiM is the best thing to have especially doing a HDDVR install!!
apparently to someone, its stupid.

It's stupid because I said so!
I wasn't saying that the equipment was stupid, just that term.
The first time I saw it, I thought someone was just trying to be funny.
