I've researched quite a bit but need to confirm before I purchase.
I have 2 H20 Receivers and 1 HR20-100S DVR installed with a 5 LNB slimline antenna. It's been working for 4 years.
Just recently completed the basement and ran 1 coax to the Structured Wiring center for a new DIRECTV box addition. Oops, should have run two cables for a new DVR? Too late, everything is closed in already.
Now I've read the SWM-8 can do the job with a single cable to the DVRs.
My question, can I add the SWM-8, power insertion unit and splitter without messing with the antenna which has 4 cables coming down from it into the Structured wiring box? My concern is: Isn't there a multiswitch in this antennna already and does it compromise the SWM-8 install in any way?
I would mount the SWM-8 and power insertion at the structured wiring box, appx. 60' away from the antenna if this would work.
I'd rather not have to change out the LNB and realign if I don't have to.
Thanks for any advice and support.
