You need a four way splitter, which has to be swm compatible. The only sd receiver that is swm compatible is the D12.

Ok I have the d 12 so when I hookup the four way splitter coming off of the lab would it be output or input to the receiver

If you have a port open on the splitter just run a line from that port to the back of the rec. and repeat satellite setup and it will work

That is correct,no need for a 4-way splitter when you have 1 port available in the 2-way splitter,more signal loss added to the system

Just take the cap/terminator of the 2-way splitter and connect your new line to your D12 DTV receiver

You guys are right, I misread the first post. If there is an open port on that splitter, connect the additional receiver there.

Or just add a 2 way.

You really need a green label Directv approved splitter. However if you go to Home Depot they have some that pass 40-2050 MHz which should also work if you want to add it today

He has the 2-way splitter inline

Should coming off the dish be on the input or the out

From the dish into the splitter would be the Input.

The splitter has an input and two outputs. The input goes to the dish, the outputs go to the two receivers.

Where is the SWM power inserter? If it is behind the HD receiver, then the other port on the splitter is available for the D12.

Yes, that is what we are all saying.

You are aware that your SD receiver will only work for the next 2 years or so... if not, you should just screw the D12 and go HD.
