DECA and SWiM Newbie Question.

[AlaJoe]

I have dish network and am thinking about switching so I do not know the lingo here like I don in The DN Forum. So this may sound stupid but what does the terms DECA and SWim refer to I have figured MRV to be multi room viewing.

Thanks!

DECA stands for DirecTV Ethernet Coax Adapter and SWM is Single Wire Multiswitch. The former allows the DVRs to share programming and the latter is what it is.

Does anyone know if there is a SWIM LNB that can support 16 connections yet ?

If they ever could jam the equivalent of two SWM8s into the LNB assembly it would have two outputs. The best you can do now is to use a regular 4 output LNB with the SWM16 module.
