swm work with an hr-20?

[gary s]

Will a slimline 3 dish with swm work with an hr-20 running single cable?

As long as it has the latest software.

Thanks for the reply.

Would that be the latest software put out for general public or that from the cutting edge (I think it's called).

Nat Rel is fine. I ran an HR20 with a SWM8 since Aug or so.

I had a mover installation done with a slimline-3 dish with swm on the work order.

The installer, shortly after I told him the cable lines were not available for his use, told me that the swm was compatible with our hr-21, however, it WAS NOT compatible with our hr-20. So, he could not use the swm. He had me sign a paper to change the workorder and installed the system without the swm.

It does not make that much of a difference as far as I can see but I am totally pissed off over his lying about it.

Since I have two HR20-700's using SWM for months now if the install without it is causing issues, like not being able to use two tuners, I'd get D* to come back out and do it correctly.

The installer ran two cables to each of our two receivers. I am having no issues that I am aware of. I am currently recording The Amazing Race on one tuner and watching the Laker game on the other live.

You'll be fine. The HR20s have supported SWM for nearly 2 years now so no worries.

I doubt he was willingly lying, just ignorant of the facts.

The latest for the general public, Im running 3 HR 20's right now with Swm. You should be good to go!
