  • About to go over 8 tuners-need to convert SWM dish

    I am pretty sure I have this right, but I want to make sure while I am planning out some remodeling work in my house...

    I have a SWM8 built into my dish. I currently have 3 HR24s and 2 H24s which are using all 8 tuners. In a few months, I will be adding at least 1 more HR24 and probably an H24 (or maybe just an HR34!) so I will need to use a SWM16. I am not too worried about going beyond 16 tuners right now.

    Can I purchase the "5LNB Module - SL5 ONLY" from http://www.weaknees.com/directv-dish.php (along with the SWM16 and necessary splitters) and replace the SWM LNB without replacing the whole dish? Should I just replace the entire dish?

    Running the additional cables from the dish to the SWM16 location will not be a problem.

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, what you want to do is fine; you don't need a whole dish. Just get an SL5 (or SL3 if you live in a major city).

        Hey rydad,
        How did your installation go? I'm doing same setup.
