Can 64 receivers be done!

12-17-2008, 06:18 PM

I'm not installing this I just wanted to know for maybe apartment installs.

If you use four High Frequency Splitters, two 4 Port SWM Expander E4, 8 SWM8 Multiswitches, and 8 SWM 8way splitters can you install 64 single line receivers or 32 DVRs or a combination of the two equaling up to 64 tuners... From one 5 LNB dish.

Can you imagine a 64 receiver work order!!!

You can, but that is not the way to do it. We have a 6-SWM chassis, which you'd need to use, and you can actually have two 6-SWM chassis in a line. There are other parts you'd need as well (amplifier, etc.), but yes, you can have a lot more than 64 receivers from one dish with the SWM system.

yes it can be done

We have 6 port chassis like was stated, i only do multi dwelling units, we have a property that is running 48 swm 8s and about 6 tuners full on each swm, all off or a single dish, you can use whats called mst771 and cascade multiple chassis off one sat
