Can this split between a Direct TV Genie and a nearby TV? I mean can it carry TV signal to another TV without a receiver?

No, unless you have certain Samsung or Sony TV with RVU technology. https://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3992

The answer is no. The sole purpose of the SWM is to allow more than 4 tuners to use a single dish. The standard Directv slimline 5LNB dish has four ports allowing four tuners to separately receive programming. Keep in mind that a standard DVR has two tuners built in and I think the Genie has 5. The SWM 16 takes the four wires in from the dish and then allows you to run a single wire to all of your receivers supporting up to 16 tuners. A SWM 8 can support 8 tuners. You still have to have a receiver at each TV and in order to get the genie you have to have SWM installed or directv will install it. The answer is no.

For splitting DirecTV Program, the answer is no. For providing Genie with DTV Program and the TV for of the air programming, the answer is yes. The idea of SWM is to stack multiple tuners set-up and share among other DTV box, either DVR or client. Also Samsung 6000 Series and above can act as client; this TV can get DTV programming without another box.

I have not tried to split the signal but regular coax cable is connected to the antenna so I would think that a typical coax splitter would work.

Yes. You just need a splitter. A signal booster is recomended when you split the signal.

No- This is to split the input not the output. If you want to watch two different shows on two different TV's you need a a dual receiver. If you want to watch the same thing as the main TV in a different room then you just need a plain signal splitter.

Yes. As the previous answer indicated using a coax cable splitter. If the signal is to weak then you may have to add a small amplifier, that's what I did. Search Amazon for 'signal amplifier tv antenna'. Find an inexpensive amplifier with an 18 dB output. Should give you a range (reach) of about 30 miles.

Yes, you can. This is a approved (power passing) Direct tv splitter. They won't say it recommend it but it work great. I use it in my RV with a Direct TV DVR with no problems. Just make sure it SWM (SWiM) compatible. With Direct TV (HDTV) only used SWM equipment Sewell HDMI splitters. I hope this helps. Thanks.

Well I don't know about others but this does NOT work with (as?) my Genie GT 912 (does). I guess the only way it could work is to somehow reset your receiver.

all you need is a 4 way swm splitter. It has to be a directv swm splitter a regular splitter will not work.

No. It does not split the signal. It's disigned to allow you to have multiple devices that use hdmi ports to go through one hdmi port on the tv. Most TVs only have two hdmi ports. This product is meant to allow you to hook up more devices then tv is made for. Because it's a automatic switch, it will only register the first device that's turned on. To have it pick up the second device, you have to turn the other device off. Any device like this product has the word switch in it, will only be able to control one at a time . You want a hdmi to 2 hdmi splitter.

Yes it can.i have my directv hr34 genie receiver loaded on this remote all commands work fine.And it can be taught commands manually if you prefer.

I'm not sure how to answer. This is a single channel splitter. It will take a single RCA output and split to two. If you have right and left RCA outputs on your TV, you shouldn't need this. If there is a single output, it may not be RCA, as it should be stereo. If it is a digital output (usually yellow), this will not work as you will need a digital converter and amplifier. I hope this info helps you.

I believe it can but please know that I do not have Direct TV, this question would certainly be best asked of Direct TV, they will certainly know this unit, it's a wonderful product, well worth the money. I have Xfinity and Samsung TV and I must use the separate remote because although a very new model, the TV will not support this device. Although not quite the presence of a system with 6 or 7 channels, when you consider the very small space it takes up and the sound quality, a good purchase, sorry I couldn't give you a little more help than that!

This unit will work to switch between sources and send out the same signal. If the picture quality is poor for the far tvs you may need a device that boosts/ extends the signal. Some of those have the ability to split the signal too.

Other response is correct, DirecTV Genie does not output the necessary 5v. Other than that works fine. You can micky mouse a work-around by turning on one of the other devices on the switch, and then manually switching to the input you want, but is a nuisance.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to. I'd just put a coax splitter off my antenna feed and run it to both units. If that weakened the signal too much, you could simply get a separate antenna for the 2nd DVR.

But you should be able to use a/v or hdmi directly from dual receive to TV. You should not need this device.

This splitter is used for splitting DirecTV signals. I cannot guarantee that it work with an HDTV antenna.In order to ensure high picture quality, I recommend using a splitter designed for HDTV antennas.
