Hi, I am trying to install the SWM-8 with a PI-28 power inserter into my existing Directv installation. I had a Zinwell 6x8 multiswitch that is still working if I plug it back in. I have one receiver (HR21-100) that is currently being used.
HR21-100 receiver - No BBand converters installed
The 4 cables from Slimline-5 to SWM8 inputs are about 10 feet (all outdoors)
The cable from SWM8 SWM-1 port to PI-28 SRW port is about 100 feet
The cable from PI IRD port on power inserter is about 5 feet to receiver (both indoors).
After connecting the satellite cables to the SWM8 inputs, and the PI-28 into the SWM-1 and letting it sit for a minute, I connected the SAT-1 port on the receiver to the IRD port on the PI-28. I hit the reset button on the HR21-100 and let it reboot. It does not receive any satellite info and all signal strengths are zeroes.
I also changed the satellite setup to use a Slimline-5 dish with SWM and dual tuners. However, this setup can only be done after the receiver fails to receive satellite info. Whenever I reboot the HR21-100, it will default back to Slimline-5 with multiswitch and dual tuners satellite setup.
I even tried resetting the receiver completely via the menu command, resulting in loss of all my recordings just to see if I can do the satellite setup after a reboot instead of it defaulting to the multiswitch setup but no such luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
