I have an HR24 primary connected to SWM DTV dish. I want to add a second receiver in bedroom. I'd settle for SD but do I need SWM in BR as well?

Thanks very much all . . . I have ordered 2 BBCs this afternoon. Bobmac

Thanks for the replys. Re. BBC question. With all due respect, the DirecTV Tech support guy (this morning) sounded quite sure about his position that, with the HR24-500, BBC's were not needed - that this function was built in to the receiver. I suppose trying would be the sure way to tell.

I have recently purchased a portable (tripod) 5LNB slimline. I will be using the same HR24-500 receiver I now use for the house. I set up a test as follows: 1. Aligned the dish and got a good strong signal. 2. I changed the (receiver) SAT type from SWM (currently on roof) to the new slimline...

Thanks WildBill. I checked the Solid Signal site and saw that they have an HR24 receiver without the DVR option for $99.99. Is that a good match and does it matter that it is "3-D Ready?"

Need HELP! Just bought a 5th wheel and want to install satellite. RV is pre-wired for Satellite but After reading several threads here, I am confused as to what is required to get things up and running. I only need basic TV and I think SD will do. I have an HR24 (Directv) at home and love it...
