Thanks for the help guys. I went ahead and threw the Ideal splitter in there after the PI and everything is working fine. When the new box gets here, I think it will work fine as well. I might order the MRV model anyway, although I need to read up on exactly what MRV is and if I actually want...

My current setup= Slimline dish with single line LNB --> Single RG6 run to Power Inserter --> Single RG6 from power inserter to the #1 input on my HR22. Today I ordered a new HD box. Installation options as I see it are: 1. Order a DTV approved power passing two way splitter and install the...

The problem turned out to be the direct TV receiver. They sent me another one and the lines are gone! Thanks for the help

Direct TV kid comes to install my dish few days ago. Attaches dish to roof and then runs the wire into the house. He spliced into an existing wire in the garage using a male to make screw adapter. Wire runs all the way to my TV. I noticed yesterday that he took the ground wire from the RG6...

dish has one output only as far as I can see. Receiver is not a DVR so it only has one input and that does have the BBC on it

I only have one HR20 currently and I am relatively sure there is no SWM already setup. The wire just goes right from the dish to my single HR20 and that is it. I just wanted to know if I can get away with something cheaper than the SWM you suggested for $160. For that price, it is cheaper to...

Just got direct tv yesterday, so I am a newb..... Slimline 3Lnb dish. Looks like 1 Lnb but I am told it has three built into one head. There is one wire coming down from the dish into the house and directly into my HR20 HD receiver. What do I have to do to setup another HD receiver? Is this...
