    Max number of receivers off of one dish?

    Thanks for this suggestion. I gave them a call and they were no help. The rep said they have no solution for us little guys and that you need a minimum of 11 units to become a DirecTV property. Oh well.

    Max number of receivers off of one dish?

The line from the dish goes in to a 4 way splitter, and there is one line out on that splitter going to my apartment, which goes into a SWM to one HR-24-100...

    How to wire apartment for DTV

    I recently purchased a 3 family house, and had Directv installed into my unit (I live on the 3rd floor). Since I was a new customer, I got a new HD dish and an HR-24-100 DVR. There is no existing wiring, and since I just had siding put on, we removed any old cable wiring that was lingering...
