  • No Local channels with SWM

    I have a Slimline Dish with 4 coax outputs that go to my smw multiswitch, than from there I send 1 line to the power inverter to my swm splitter. I have 2 TV's connected to that splitter. 1 HD DVR and 1 HD box, I have an older box I ran out of the legacy port of my multiswitch. Everything works fine but I am not getting local channels.

    What am I doing wrong?

      You might call DirecTV and see if they can resend the signal to your cards to ensure that your receivers know to decode local channels.
      Been here a long time . . .

        I live in Parker, CO zip 80134. It doesn't seem like I'm getting 103 but I was getting locals before! It seems like an aiming issue, nothing has changed though. I did call direcTV and have them send a new signal

          i think my hd locals come off the 103 ....if you are getting the 101 & the 99 good ... you might have a wiring issue.. check both polarities...esp if you might be missing some of your regular channels off the 101 .... non hd....
