What kind of SWM do I need for DirecTV?
To make installations even simpler, DirecTV has come out with a SWM integrated right into the satellite reception LNB. There are two varieties – the SL3S (3LNB SWM) and the SL5S (5LNB SWM). Both work with slimline reflectors. Both still require power inserters, but can use the PI-21.
What kind of power supply do I need for DirecTV?
We strongly recommend only DIRECTV-branded power supplies. Assuming you have one, your power supply (also called a power inserter) will have two coaxial cable connections—one labeled SWM, the other labeled IRD. Connect a cable from the red SWM connector on the power supply to the red connector on the SWM (SWM1 port).
Can a SWM carry both satellite and off air signals?
The SWM can carry both DIRECTV satellite signal and off-air antenna signal. If you wish to use an off-air antenna, you will connect the off-air antenna directly into the SWM, and then all outputs from the SWM will carry the DIRECTV and off-air signal.
What to do if your Direct TV is not working?
Check and secure all connections on the back of your receiver. Start with the SAT-IN connection. See if you have a SWiM Power Inserter attached to the DIRECTV cable coming from your dish (it may be in a different room). If you do, unplug it from the electrical outlet.
