    SWM with Splitter

    Can I use the SWM with any splitter to distribute to up to 4 receivers?

    I have a Leviton 1x4 2Ghz splitter that I want to use but it says that it is only up to 2050 Ghz. Will this splitter still work?

    Thanks

    No! You need a SWM splitter, which passes 2Mhz. See:

        I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are asking. If you have a SWM dish, there is no "4 port SWM." IF you have a SWM8 module, then there is no PI21.

            lets start over on this ....



            please state the type of dish you have ... need to know swm or regular ... the swm dish has only 1 output on the lnb.... the regular (non swm) has 4 outputs on the lnb...



            also .... is this the new hd dtv dish ... slimline????????



            the switch you have ... what are the markings on it ... type ... model ... name ....

            this might get us started on it ....

              That's a splitter, not a switch

              You have a swm4 splitter, to be used with a Swim dish (not what you have) or off a swim multiswitch (what you need). Get the swim8 multiswitch and conect your four LNB's lines to ports 1-4 (5 and 6 or not used). the switch should come with a power inserter and you plug the power side to the RED swim1 port and the IRD side to your Swim4 splitter. Hook up your receivers and do a red button reset.
