I know the swmline 3 is fairly new but what is the chance that I get a slimline 5? (I am moving and have all SWM equipment). I don't know if I can clear 110 and 119 (and if I don't clear it could I convince the installer to just peack 99, 101 and 103) which is why I want a swimline 3 setup. 110 and 119 are worthless to me since I just need HD conus and SD conus. If they don't give me a swmline 3 or 5 could I get a PI and a swmline 3 LNB head and ask the installer if I can get him to install it? (I know I need a SWM certified installer, which means I could ask the HSP to send a SWMline certified installer since I already have the rest of the lnb enclosure and the PI). Any ideas on this would be helpful. Thanks

3 vs 5 will depend on where the SD locals (if any) come from in the market your moving to. If they come from 99/101/103 or 72.5 (for now) then you will get a 3. If they come from 110/119 then a 5 it is.

I am going to a non locals market. One of the 30 markets that are unserved. I am looking into an HD antenna now for my one main tv. Not any others because SWM cannot integrate with an off air antenna.

That is interesting because I have a SWMLine 5 that has been diplexed with an OTA antenna since the first day I got it. (I was part of the SWMLine field trials). I know that DirecTV does not endorse OTA diplexing with SWM but it does work

Will depend what the tech has on the truck. I've done setups both with WB68s and SWMs. If it saves me wire and time a SWM it is, if not I'll put in a WB 68.
Ask the tech what he has.
