Well, since the SWM switch will need power, it looks like I'm going to have to call out an electrician to drop an outlet in or next to the patch panel before they come out anyway.

Wow - three times? Do you ask to see the work order and inventory before installation and reject them at the door?

I'd also want to connect it to the home network - that would be another DECA and a power supply as well correct? Would they include that as part of the installation? Plus as I understand it, they also have to install MRV compatible splitters and band stop filters for the HR20's, so this could...

Fair enough. I suppose the only downside of that approach is that if they don't send out the right equipment, I'm back to doing it on my own so I really have nothing to lose. If they get it right, I'll also be able to have them take these HR20's off my hands. :)

I'd do that in a heartbeat if I had any guarantee I'd get HR24's. I'm not sure what made the CSR certain that I would get an HR21 instead, but even when I mentioned that I only wanted the HR24, she was confident I'd get an HR21.

Very true - and I think that since I will have 4 DVRs along with 2 HD receivers, I'm going to need the 16 instead of the 8 yes? If DirecTV comes out to perform the service, aren't they still going to charge me for that switch as well? Thanks again for all of the advice!

If I order the equipment through them, there's no guarantee I'd receive an H24, much less two - I was told (as mentioned earlier) that I should expect to receive an H21. Second I was told that the service call would be 150-250$. I'd rather spend that on equipment than a service call. I...

Can you make a recommendation as to what all equipment I should get (what switch, DECA equipment, etc.) along with a couple of HR24's, since I'd rather not go the DirecTV ordering route? I'm pretty sure I can replace the equipment rather easily myself since it doesn't require me to get on the...

I called DirecTV to see if I could just add the service, and the representative said that they would still have to send someone out to replace my multiswitch with a SWM model, and also attach the DECA equipment to my 2 HR20-100s. Based on the cost for the visit + equipment, it didn't sound...

Ok, here is my current setup (if I'm missing something or anyone needs more detail let me know - I'm not an expert DirecTV/Satellite guy). 2 HR10-100's 2 HR20's Slimline 5 (as reported by the DVR) Zinwell WB68 located in a patch panel HR10-100's are connected to a home network via wireless...
