    Directv Swim device

    Thanks Jimbo. Only have a 52" HD Capable rear projection, but hoping to purhcase a 52" LCD 1080P / 120Hz. Been doing alot of research on those too. I think the HD on that should look great. Thanks again.

    Excellent. Thank you all for the explanation and advice. I think I'm ready to commit to 2 years. I love the picture it gave my friend, I just wanted to do my homework first. I hate nothing worse than signing an agreement and then not being happy with the service or it not working out. I...

    Directx Swm device or Swim

    Sounds good then. I think I'm ready to make the switch from cable to satelite. I'm sorry for all the questions. I am always leary on signing a 2yr agreement and having all the cancelation fees. I feel much better on it now. On the other forum, I had asked about using just a standard receiver...

    Directv Swim device

    Sounds good then. So, Jimbo above states when I take the receiver (standard one) to my camper, to change settings from SWM to I guess the round dish. So, if I understand this correctly, my standard receiver that I will get will be set to SWM at the house, but when I go to campsite, I have to...

    I called my buddy who had Directv installed a few weeks ago to tell him that I'm going forward with it since I think he gets the referral credit. I explained what I learned here. His reply was "when I got mine installed, the tech said the phone line needed to be plugged in because this new SWM...

    Thank you all. You have answered my questions. Before I made a committment for 2 years contract, I wanted to ensure I wouldn't have any issues. When buying from a store, you never seem to get the true answers so this really helped. Thank you all. LB

    Directv Swim device

    Thank you Jimbo. No, I don't plan on doing the DVR at the camper. Just standard box. Actually, never really thought about the DVR until you mentioned it. Guess it wouldn't be a bad idea, but more than likely probably just the standard box just to have TV for rainy days. I feel much better now...

    Directv Swim device

    For the house, I was planning on HD receivers. For the camper, just a standard one as we have an old cheap TV in there. I was going to buy a round dish for the camper. Also, I assumed that if I disconnected the receiver from the house, and was gone for a while (during summer we sometimes rent a...

    Thank you for the reply. The other concern for the receivers that would be for the house is phone lines. My TV is nowhere near a phone line. I would have to run a wire across the floor whihc I can't do with the grandkids running through the house. I've been told that you must always have a...

    I'm looking at subscribing to Directv. Need a couple receivers for house, and one for my camper. However, a friend recently had a system installed and stated that directv uses a new thing called a "swim" device ? Keeps you from running dual cables for DVRs, etc and it all works with one cable...
