Simple Instructions to Install 3rd Directv Receiver?
We have Directv Multi-Sat (3 LNBs).
There is a regular receiver installed downstairs.
There is a regular DVR installed upstairs.
I understand that purchase of some sort of multi-switch, which allows each tv to run channels independently, and additional cabling is in order, but which one?
And what is the simplistic method of self-installation besides calling an installation guy?
Where do I install the multi-switch in conjunction with the satellite dish?
I see that there is a little splitter coming off the dvr that the installer placed there, can I place the multi-switch there since there are already holes drilled into the wall of the room where we want to run the cabling?
Go out to your dish and count how many coax cables you have coming out of your feed. It should look more or less like this:
If you have 3 or fewer, you are going to have to disassembly the feed horn of your dish and add another. I'm an electrical engineer and I am confronted with having to do the same and I'm going to call a Directv person to do it.
I think you need the SWM8 and here is all sorts of information on it.
