only if you need to connect more than 4 directv tuners. One line per tuner i.e. not DVRs take one line and DVRs need 2 lines

The SL3-SWM is the DirecTV HD LNB which, when used with the SWM dish and power inserter, will provide an HDsignal to the receiver. The HR44-700 (Genie) is a DirecTV HD DVR it should work with the SL3-SWM LNB and thepower inserter. Don't forget to use the splitter which blocks the power from getting to the HR44-700.

yes, that's exactly what the switch does, it takes an input signal and allows you to direct it to two different destinations, not simultaneously tough (it's not a splitter). I guess your plan is to bypass the AV receiver when you don't need it and watch TV via the direct connection, and go through the AV receiver only when you need the additional capabilities. One push of the button and you will toggle the signal between the two output.

Yes, but keep in mind this package does not contain an LNB. If you currently have a dish with an compatible LNB you may be able to remove it from the current dish and install it on this dish. If you currently do not have a dish with an LNB for your receiver, an SWM system (SiWM) or SWM SL5S LNB that uses the single wire technology with power injector will be needed.

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

I have not tried this connection, so my answer is "not sure." The multiple wires are four different frequencies but since my installation for multiple wire from the dish and it works. So not being an expert on SWM technology, an experimentation on your might be needed.

If a receiver hasn't previously been activated on an account, and your account is in good standing it should be able to be activated on your account as long as you don't already have a genie. Directv will only allow one genie per account. Also, you need to have a swm system with no more than 3 tuners already on it. Otherwise, you will need a swm 16 switch. I suggest calling Directv before purchasing to make sure you have what you need to activate this receiver.

If your remote already works with another, existing Multicode or Multicode compatible receiver, then yes. You just have to change the dip switch configuration in either or both the receiver and/or remote.

Yes but keep in mind that this SWM LNB requires the 21 volt power inserter as well. Swm technology is good once you get it set up, but initially it may drive you crazy when you get it installed, power in the receiver, select option 17 dish type with swm instead of Multiswitch. The receiver may not initially recognize the swm. Initially have receiver unplugged, then when you have power inserter plugged in and all connections connected, plug in the receiver and that seems to help. Once you go to SWM, just don't go back to non swm and you should not have problems. Hope this helps.

SWM dish? Does the LNB have the SWM switch inside? Normally there are the 4 ports that come from the LNB that plug into the SWM 16 and one wire from the red power port goes to the splitter, the SWM 2 port on the SWM 16 is for the bottom 8 transponders which makes a total of 16

Yes. You just want to make sure the FCC and P/N match (on back of current remote). Thanks!

Yes, set the switches in on the back as the manual states. I use DTS through the Toslink and it works fine.

What is the exact error? Is there a number? Is it 775? The cable should come directly out of your LNB, from your dish to your power inverter in your house. It also depends on how many tv's you have. If you have many tvs, you will need a SWM splitter that accepts the power from the power inverter and goes back to the dish. If it's only for one tv, then you won't need a SWM splitter and you can hook your cable to your power inverter, then to your receiver. Just make sure your cable in is going to the right port.

Yes they come with directions. I have two antennas connected to this switch. That way I can switch between the antennas with a push of a button. So, if your wanting to switch between DTV and and an over the air antenna I see so reason why this wouldn't work for you.

Yes, you need to be configured on SWM in order to do while home DVR/Genie. This switch, along with associated power supply and splitters provide that configuration. Note that there's also an 8 channel switch available if you don't need that many connections but I went with the 16 just for additional capacity if I need it...doubt that will ever be necessary but it's there just in case.

DirecTV requires the b band converter to receive the Ka satellite signals. These relatively new satellites allow reception of many more channels. For a technical description of how it works try Google!

I'm not sure. I didn't work for my PVR. I needed eagle aspen 5x8 multi switch. Had to put all 4 lines from my dish into the multi switch. Now i have a 8 line output. It works great. I have shaw direct satellite. I think if you use the splitter. U will have to watch the same channels on both. The company has a number you can call to find out for sure. Sorry, I couldn't help more.
