The wiring diagrams all note that when using the SWM-8 the SAT-2 connection on HD DVRs should not be connected. Is a single connection sufficient to support both tuners on an HD DVR? I have a slimline 5LNB dish, an HR22, an HR20 and an H20 receiver. Can I insert a SWM-8 at the dish and run a single line from the SWM-8 to the H20 receiver and feed the HR22 and HR20 from a single line with a single 1:2 duplexer - one line to each HR22 and HR20?

Sort of.
First, yes--only one line goes into a DVR and that feeds two tuners.
You will need a power supply for the SWM between the multiswitch and the receivers, and you will also need swm-approved splitters if you want to split one line into a DVR and an H20. Otherwise, what you want to do looks about right. -
No you cannot split the signal for the two Dvrs from the swm splitter each box needs its own dedicated line... also you will need a power inserter to power the SWM5 LNBComment

I'm not sure I understand why you're saying here, but you can take a single line from a SWM and split it (using SWM-approved splitters) to various receivers. This is exactly the purpose of a SWM.Originally posted by SuperTech348 View PostComment

I think what he is asking is if he can split the signal after the swm splitter. That you cant do.Comment
