    Slimline 3 and SWS-4 Switch question

    I am fairly new at Directv installing and have a question I need answered. I am doing a Genie and 3 mini Genie install in the morning and after opening boxes I see no green SWM 4 way splitter so I dug this splitter up. Will this splitter work on the Slimline 3?

    This is how you can tell its cold

    I have not seen that on any direct boxes but have a few times on Dish boxes. On Dish boxes the receiver must be 41 degrees or warmer to start up.

    Help ! 80+ yr old ordered DirecTv, installing SD right now - shouldnt be HD free instead?

    What we do is install HD equipment anyways but do not have HD programming added so if later down the road if they decide to get HD programming the equipment is already installed so it is just a matter of turning on the HD programming.

    Why didn't we ditch TWC when we had the chance?

    I never watch TWC since my locals are more faster at reporting whats going on plus I have local weather radar on computer, laptop,tablets, my weather radio and police scanner, no need for TWC.

    Slimline 5 questions

    Sorry I am a private contractor and trying to expand my field. The reailer who is wanting me to install D* for them knows nothing about them and I can not find any real training aids. So I am learning just like I did for E*. I am going to use a 4way SWM and a power inserter. The LNB only had 1 port.
