You ONLY use a Power Insertor for a SWM set up, if your using a regular 3 or 5 LNB Slimline no PI necessary.

If your using 2 separate dishes, set one up at the shop and the other at the house and run the system separately .

Thanks Jimbo....So I just need to change the lnb type in the settings...and good to go...correct.? Thanks again...jeffroh

When you set it up, do the "Repeat Sat Set Up" (It's in the Ant and Sat section) make the changes so it shows the correct LNB's being used when setting up and you'll be good.
