I had DirecTV installed about a month ago. I got an HR34 and 3 H25's, and I can't tell you how awesome it's been. Coming from cable, it's like a whole new world.
Now after looking some stuff up, I've got a question. The way the DirecTV installer did it, the coax from the satellite dish goes directly into the SWM 8 way splitter, and the SWM Power Inserter has a coax that goes from the 'Power to SWM' port into one of the open 'Out' ports on the SWM splitter, and nothing comes out of the 'Signal to IRD' port on the inserter, it's just got a cap on it.
Is that the way it's supposed to be? It works fine, but I'm just curious, as everything I've read shows something coming out of the 'Signal to IRD' port.
