How to connect a single HR24-100 to SWM LNB/dish

[WiscoWiz]

My 18" round dish was destroyed by mother nature. I used it at cabin in SD on a HR24-100.
I was given a SL3 dish with SWM LNB that had been used in a Genie setup.
How can I hook up a single HR24 to this dish/LNB?

Quite easily actually. Just ignore three of the receivers in this diagram.

I humbly point out that the parts you need are available at Solid Signal.

Thank you. Which splitter and power inserter do I need? I assume I should use
terminators on the 3 unused ports, unless I can get a 2 port splitter.

You should be able to get a 2 port splitter because that's the kind I have.

You don't need a splitter with a single HR24. Just run the cable through the power inserter from the lnb to the HR24.

I have never used a power inserter. Which model do I need to get ?

They come in 21 and 29 volt models, either one will work. If you have a long run to the dish, over 150 ft, then definitely go with the 29 volt one.
