Are you the sort of person who just can't have enough receivers? DBSTalk.com is proud to present this exclusive first look at the next new piece in DIRECTV's technology arsenal: The SWiM-16 Single Wire Multiswitch.
If you need up to 16 tuners, you can now wire all of them with a single wire to each receiver without chaining smaller multiswitches. This should make for easier, less expensive installations.
I'd like to thank Doug Brott for this entertaining and informative look at the SWiM-16.

Please note that some DBSTalk.com testers and staff members may have received free equipment from DIRECTV or its partners for the purpose of evaluation and testing.
I do not believe that the SWiM-16 is readily available at the moment, but it will be available soon. Unfortunately, I cannot be more specific than that.
SWM16 ODU anyone??? I just wired my new house with the single wire to the dish and I don't want to wire for four wires from the dish but I know I will if I HAVE to. But that's why I ask about an ODU. :grin:
But I am HAPPY to see the SWM16 and then there was that SWM32 at CES floor

Sorry just a little confused by your question. I have a SWM8 Outdoor Unit (ODU) or a SWMLine Dish (5 LNB to be specific) and obviously one wire comes off of that to the Power Inserter (like you have knowledge of) and then I have a 4 way splitter to 4 receivers (3 DVR's 1 STB) for a total of 7 tuners.
While I am not immediately needing the 9th or more tuner I can see I may need it when my kids are grown. I am just wondering if I could get that SWM16 ODU.
There is no way one can split the SWM ODU to a multiswitch or SWM8 or in this case a SWM16. They don't "talk" to a SWM Multiswitch (4 lines in) that I know of.
I meant if you stuck a new SWM-16 outside with a non SWM dish and sent only one wire inside. Inside would be a PI, then split into two, then split into 8 each.
I don't know. My SWM-8 lets me just run one line from outside then have an 8 output on the end of it in my connections area.
I guess what I am curious about is if all 16 tuners can be pulled from SWM1 port or 8 SWM1 and 8 from SWM2.

That's nothing new, I told you this two months ago.
