Bueller?

The PI goes through the appropriate side of a splitters going up from one of the units, but that's actually decent idea if it would not burn out the unit in the dish with 2x power. This does bring up a good question. Is there a new external SWiM if one needs more tuner connections and the dish...

where can I obtain the latest version of the AIM 1.0 Frmware? Mine is easily 4+ years old As there is now an AIM 1.5, are they still updating the 1.0? If not, how old was the last firmware?

As filters are 2 way, out of curiosity, why would I need 2? Not an issue as I have several, but trying to figure out why 2 are needed?

Yes, aware of limit...but thanks!

Thank you!!!!

That was actually my first thought as I have several of them here. But then I *thought* that would also filter needed output from internal Dish SWiM??

Single DirecTV dish on 2 unit Duplex feeding both sides on individual accounts. Had dish w/o internal SWiM....4 cable feed powering 2 external SWiMs. New Dish has internal SWiM. Really do not want to put a second dish on the roof. Any way to isolate the networks on both sides of the Duplex...

Whoever had 4/27/2015 at 10:30 wins the pool! Now Mod Little Jimmy Short will be able to post his BS that is always wrong and not have the minions point out he is wrong. For those who actually need to get DirecTV problems fixed, God help you - as proven DBSTalk has no access to people who work...

They were all owned receivers, but that should make no difference. Don't know. Just glad it was only $5 for as long as it was. Obviously an error from what you and others have posted.

Lowering prices is not what they look at. They look at will it hurt competition. Considering there is virtually no overlap with Comcast/TWC, it is virtually impossible to to say that hurts competition. AT&T is so limited in scope it is hard to say that the merger reduces competition, but...

Well, if you go for the low side with an average of 3 TVs per house (the USA AVERAGE in 2012), first one included in base. 2 addtional = $1 extra a month x 20M customers= $20M+ a month for doing nothing. Considering DTV customers are more upscale, change that $20M+ to $30M+ a month if 4TVs...

Just double checked my bills. Strange it did not increase for me until 2013. If they made some mistake, guess it is too late to ask for it now!

No it was $5 just a year or two ago.

Considering that NBA is responsible for $2 of the increase between ESPN and Turner, not to mention the additional amount ESPN is raising outside of NBA, you might want to narrow that focus down to the correct offenders.

With four different account, you would not need to worry about the networking. The 4 clouds (and thus 4 Genies) on seperate accounts could not play each other's programming if they could see each other. Each Genie and the additional units (whether C31 or some combination of H/R2x devices) would...

Correct. The 6x16 (WB616) is the big brother of the 6x8 (WB68) and needs an external power supply that the (WB68) does not. You need a seperate run for every tuner channel using this classic technology. They will not work feeding a Genie as there is only 1 input on the back of a Genie. No...

In essence, yes. I did that since last year before moving to the SWM32 when I picked one up for a very low price. The SWM16s do allow sharing between all 16 ports where the SWM32 only share between the 8, so adjustments need to be made there. The SWM32, like the SWM8, has an input for a TV...

Luckily, I measured the feed with a meter to determined I really did not need a SA6AL trunk amplifier. I only installed a Sonora SEQ509 Slope Equalizer and a Sonara SD PI-6S Polarity Locker and used those for 4 months with the 2 SWM16s, so I knew they were working properly.

Really anything that can power the LNB (not just the Sonora) could be used. In theory, a WB616 Multiswitch (which is powered) should be able to power the LNB, but as shown in my experience, that will not work as it apparently shuts off the tap if no current is detected on that tap. But yes...

Unless they changed it, the icons were in the additional software download. I've seen it more times than I can count when that secondary download does not trigger correctly (or is interupted by the user) and the icons do not download. Of course, if the firmware isn't in the stream, it will not...

That you for the input. I have the unit operating now, thanks to the techs at PDI-SAT. The unit operates as 4 individual SWM8s, not as 2 individual SWM16s. I was aware of this going in and am installing splitters to distribute the DECA signal to each cloud. As noted in the original post, the...

Looking for help with a SWiM32 (SWM32RO-09) I suspect that if help comes from this site, it will come from someone in the members only Installers Forum who someone might direct a kind soul here. Thus far, based on my experience, most have only seen pictures of a SWiM32 online and because the...

That was my thought, but wanted to make sure i wasn't missing something before telling him that was the only option left. I appreciate your thought confirming my thinking.

OK - If you are anal enough to respond to a post about an external multiswitch and want to play this game, please tell the world how you check the cable between the lnb and the internal multiswitch as Texasbrit referred to in the previous post. Bottom line, the question was about thoughts if...
