I had already planned on pulling two Cat6 lines in each of my pulls. I'll go ahead and opt for the three RG6 drops and stick with the Zinwell switch then. Thanks for the info.

So if I'm pulling two cables plus a third for OTA/cable/whatever, I should just stick with the Zinwell switch and run two wires to each tuner instead of the SWM-8? I guess it comes down to preference but I am not sure if I'll notice any difference one way or another.

I'm doing a new install of DirecTV to a few rooms in my house. It's a two-story floor plan that has one common wall (aside from the four exterior walls) that runs from the basement to the attic crawl space. That single common wall has one possible stud cavity to pull in due to stairwells...

I'm looking to add wiring to a few rooms of my house that are not currently wired and am at a crossroad of rather I want to pull one or two wires to my recievers. When I initially had D* installed, SWM wasn't an option and the only way to have a dual-tuner DVR operate was to have two RG6 coax...

I appreciate your responses. For what it's worth, I got a little impatient and returned the receiver to Best Buy yesterday afternoon and exchanged it out. The new receiver that I replaced it with works just fine. I wish I knew the HR21 (or now the HR22 it looks like) would work with one tuner...

I just upgraded my bedroom TV to a new LG 42LG50 LCD TV and wanted to replace my standard definition D12-100 receiver with a new H21-100 receiver (I wanted another HD DVR but I only had a single wire ran to the room and it's impossible to obtain a SWM box from DirecTV). Anyway, I went to Best...

I am a long time off and on forum visitor, recent member (yesterday) and first time poster. I just had to post somewhere about my extreme frustration with Dish network / their installers that I had to rant somewhere and maybe inform others of what could be their next install… I called...
