    HR34 and SWM-8

    Problem: 776 dish error.

    I don't see any wiring diagrams with the SWM-8 and HR34. I see examples with the SWM-16 and the dedicated PWR port. I have the HR34 coming off the PWR module and an HR24 on SWM2. That should be 7 tuners. The tuner tests all pass, including the SWM test.

    Is it possible the HR34 must be connected to SWM2 and will not work off the SWM1/PWR port? Is it possible I need to replace the whole thing with an SWM-16?

    Thanks,
    -Mark

    Nope - the HR34 will work off the SWM1/PWR on a SWM8.

    Is the HR24 working OK? Have you tried switching the locations of the two units to see if maybe it's a wiring problem?

      It will be difficult switching them, but the HR23 the HR34 replaced worked with that setup for a couple of years. It may be faster for me to get a splitter and put all the receivers on SWM2 than to move receivers around.

      I am destined for an SWM-16 anyway, as I want to hook up a 3rd DVR, but I was looking for a quick answer while I wait for the SWM-16.

      Thanks.

        As an alternative to an SWM-16, or a 3rd DVR, can I use a C31 Genie client, does that use up 0, 1, or 2 tuners?

          Yes - you can use a C31. It uses 0 tuners off the SWM.

          Full info on the C31 is here:
