Though figured it was in the works with its prototype's appearance at CES 2014 and the entry into the satellite setup dish configuration list.
Any indication this LNBF has RDBS receive capability?
I ask since there's no specific mention of the bands this LNBF receives. And 99 and 103 is also where RB-1 and RB-2 will be with the upcoming launches of D14 and 15 respectively.
Thtat's great- I currently have 5 LNB - what Channels would I lose from the 110 & 119 or does this mean they will be going away in the distance future?

The ability to have 13 tuners instead of 8 on a single wire. The old system required 2 wires if you mounted the SWM16 at the dish or 4 wires if you mounted the SWM16 inside. A big advantage for homes prewired for cable is that you dont have to divide the house into two zones
I only have three HR20-700.... but would like to add an HR44. No Latino programming.
So, the SWM-13 would be appropriate?... not sure what's on 119... and would use the same power inserter?

I just have some genie clients and a whole home HR DVR (prob 44 but maybe earlier version). Already installed. I assume unless I need more tuners, this will have no benefit? Wondering if this somehow will matter for 4K... Do they use multiple tuners perhaps to deliver 4K content?
If this is a new install, you will also need a power inserter. Either the PI21 (black) power inserter or the PI29 (grey) power inserter will work. You can run a single wire from the LNB to an 8-way splitter and feed all your devices from there.
It's only in a couple test markets at the time, I don't know when it will be available all over but when it is you will be able to purchase one at solidsignal.com, DIRECTV will not send one out.
