View Full Version : HD Installation questions

Upgraded my system to HD, the installation was done a couple days ago.

Happy with the installation, here is what I got

Receiver: H23-600 (mfr date: 08/16/08)
Multiswitch: WB68 - I think.
(label has:
ZINWELL
Wide-band 6x8 Multi-sw
Part #: MS6x8WB-Z)
Dish: Slimline LNB 3 (pretty sure) - dish has the word "slim line" on it, and just one "nodule" on the LNB.


I do have a couple questions for future upgrades/expandability.

I will eventually need more than 8 outputs from my multiswitch, is there a multiswitch with more outputs?
Could I replace the multiswitch with a SWM8?



Thanks,


Choir

Yes, you have a WB68 multiswitch connected to an SL3 (Slimline 3LNB) dish. This will support up to 8 tuners. If you need more than than, you could replace the WB68 with a WB616 (same thing, but with 16 ports, plus it's powered by its own transformer instead of the tuners int he receivers), or you could "parallel" another WB68 off the dish feeds, or you could parallel a SWM8 with the WB68.
