    SWM satellite setup help

    Whoohoo! Got it to work with the PI instead of the SWM Kick. I think with the Kick you need the Super Buddy with it. Whatever, it's working!

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    I just swapped out my AU9 LNB with a SWM5 LNB. I hooked it up to the proper cable. From the wall it goes into the Power Inerter (which everyone told me), but they sent me a SWM Kicker which they said replaced the PI. So, it goes into that and from there goes into our SWM jack in the back of our...

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    I know this HOA bullsh*t is driving me up the wall. It's so lame what we complain about and they nabbed about 3 or 4 units for the some satellite violation. Who gives a crap?! They're everywhere. But whatever, that's a whole other story.

    Thanks Liquidforce. No other adjustments or programming will be needed?

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    Okay, we have the model HR21-700. It's the black one with one SWM2 jack in the back. We have the Slimline dish and I bought the SWM5 KA/KU5 LNB and 21V power inserter. Is there anything else I need to swap out current LNB to this one HD DVR receiver?

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    Honestly I don't know which receiver we have without it in front of me. But the DTV tech looked at it and said it was SWM compatible so I never bothered to remember what model it was. I'll have to check when I get home.

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    I believe it is the KA/KU LNB. It has 3 prongs that start at the center but go to the left when you look at them. It looks exactly the same as the SWM but just has 4 outputs instead of 1. We have the Slimline dish. We have the HR10 receiver, I think. I'm not at home at the moment and I forgot...

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    One more thing, if my satellite was already aligned with the previous LNB which looks the same but with multiple cables, will I need to adjust it for the new SWM LNB? And no other programming is involved for the SWM? Will my current programming, saved shows, lists, etc. remain? I don't want to...

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    Thanks guys. Is there a difference between the SWM8-PI and a SWM5? Can I use the SWM8-PI for the SWM5?

    Installing SWM5 LNB

    I recently had to purchase a SWM5 LNB on my own because like many DTV was unwilling to help their long standing customers with the SWM upgrade. I have the 3 prong LNB right now for HD/DVR. Due to my HOA we had to get rid of the second cable outside our place and the SWM was the only solution. I...
