Yes but it needs to be done through ethernet, so each needs a CCK, or BB DECA
VOS -- Are you ever gonna patent (and sell) that dual SWM16 DECA crossover you created :D If D* engineering won't bite, I bet the marketplace around here would :lol:

"Funny you should ask"... :lol:
This just came up yesterday and before I release it, I need to do some testing to find the limitations. ;)
I'm with tech now from directv he is telling me receivers on different sw16 won't see each other for Mrv, what should I request he do?

Connect a CCK to each SWiM-16 and connect each to your router.
What is a cck he didn't know

Tell him a BB DECA for each then. Same thing but the old name [CCK is the newer]
Great, that is what he has just connected a BB Deca for each SW16 and each is connected by ethernet to router...Hopefully when he finishes all receivers in house will see each other.

Thank you very much Old School

Limitations? It allows the end user to receive every channel in HD right? :lol:

Make sure you create a training plan/video :D

Let us know how everything turns out.

Everything seeems to be perfect I believe all my receivers see each other. Rather painless upgrade fron 4 4 x 8 multiswitches which resulted in a few HD channels dropping out. All works great now.
