how to add ota to a swm setup

[jmc98]

I just added 2 more recievers and when they were installed the tech used a seminar splitter instead of a swm switch how do I add ota to that setup?

I have no idea what a seminar splitter is. Adding ota to your setup is simple. Get an AM21 module, connect it to the receiver/dvr with the usb connection, plug it in, connect the antenna and watch tv!

Note you cant have Swm + DECA + OTA

Stone,you mean you can't combine all 3 in one line but you can run a separate line for ota and it would work correct ?

Its a swm-3 splitter not seminar can that be diplexed also don't need an am 21 as all TVs that are hooked to direct service have ota tuners in them and 2 recievers are h20's

I don't think you can diplex an ota signal with a swm. They have overlapping frequencies that will interfere with each other.

Would have helped, had you told us what recvrs you were working with in the beginning !

So I take it I need that swm-8 switch before adding the ota antenna to the setup? 1 hr24 2 h20s atsc tuners in the TVs

Right they all cant be on the same wire, OTA and DECA run on the same freqs. You can still run and 2nd line for just ota.
