SWM-8 and Slim 5lnb (non-SWM)

12-14-2009, 07:45 PM

I presently have the Slim 5LNB dish and bought the SWM-8 (with power supply). I am hooking up 3 HD-DVR's, One DVR and on HD receiver (All compatable with SWM technology). What else do I need? Will a 1x8 splitter work? Thanks.

Well, you've got nine tuners there, right? The SWM8 can only handle 8 . . .

Been here a long time . . .

Can't I run the HD receiver off the legacy port?

No, you can't (unless you don't want any HD). The Legacy ports do not pass the 99 or 103 satellites, which is where the HD content is.
