Yea, the sales guy just mentioned the two way splitter....got it confused with the the 8-16way IRD but

Too funny.

Thanks OSD, that price is about the middle of the range I was looking at....was just hoping it was a good one. I understand locking in 101 & 119 should be enough baring a bad mount or obstruction but

Hi guys/gals, Been gone a while but good to see most of the gang still helping out. I'm currently looking for a nice yet reasonable signal meter to align my Slimline dish's as needed. I always lugged a small TV, the SWiM, power supply & output splitter up to the roof when I needed some fine...

I've had my upgrade for over a week now & the thing is definitely operating on turbo mode ...I've never seen the guide interface this fast......hope it lasts too.

No, I just wanted to use one coax per room & this was one of the first products available that allowed this type of setup (It would have been prohibitive to run two coaxial cables to each room). The SWMLNB dish came along after if memory serves.

Yea Jim, I'm trying to eliminate some component before I go crazy on this. I have four lines coming in from the Slimline5 that feed directly into the SWM8...from there one line is fed into the SWM multiswitch input & then out to each room via the switch's outputs. Everything has worked...

I've run an SWM-8 system for the past two years with no problems until today I started losing Tuner 2 on one of the receivers. I have 5 receivers...2 H20's & 3 HR22's for a total of 8 tuners. As soon as I unplug a working twin tuner HR22 the malfunctioning tuner works fine. On one receiver I...

Very true, must watch TV using the DVR's fast forward option. They also seem to be having some audio/sync growing pains since switching to HD.

It might be Discovery, ESPN2, Audience Network & HBOeHD the first time & another set the next week. Your second question is accurate. Every once in a while I get a lemon of a software upgrade & this appears to be one of them; maybe I'll try to force a software upgrade on one of them if the CE...

No, the guide is there & fully populated but after a few days maybe 10 channels are just blank for certain time slots.

Yes, in the high 90's across the board.

Hello every1, Recently had my receivers (Hr22-100) upgrade to software version (OX4d1) & for some reason every 48hrs I'm missing the programs that should be populated in the guide window (Some time slots are just blank). It appears to happen to random channels each time; a repeat Satellite...

Looks like we got AMC in HD this morning according to their online/info mail service. It hasn't showed up in my guide yet but I doubt it's a tease. It could be my equipment anyway, my HR22's have been acting up lately since this last national software release came through....missing guide info...

You will be a new customer & should get something "free" or "discounted" even though you have your own equipment. You only get one time to negotiate as a new customer so I would ask for the world while you still maintain all the power. If movies are your thing, ask for specials on those. If...
