    First Look: DirecTV SWM 32 Switch

    ADVERTS
    DirecTV is currently testing a new SWM switch that is going to make retailers who do installs at commercial establishments very happy.

    It is a SWM 32 switch.

    It is basically four SWM 8 switches combined into a single housing using one set of satellite inputs and one power supply.

    The SWM32 has a set of Cascade out ports for additional switches.

    No word when these will hit the streets, but hopefully soon. I know a few retailers who could use these now.

    Per chance do you have more pictures that show the entire switch front,
    back, and all sides?

    Nice technological improvement. A few of our users would salivate at those for their homes, though pushing 32 tuners would make one wonder if you home is indeed a sports bar.

    It will probably be very expensive and targeted for MDU installs.

    Detfan- you are probably best to look at two SWM8 modules if you want more than 4 DVRs.

    I don't know what that means? Does that require another Dish?

    I wonder if you can split the signal two ways before these without locking it first...
