A friend of mine recently scheduled an installation for 1 HD DVR, 2 HD receivers and 1 SD receiver. The three receivers can easily be routed through the attic, dropped into closets and run to the TV's. The den, where the DVR will go is a relatively recent addition to the house and a single coax was run for cable TV. Running a second line parallel with the installed line isn't possible (it enters the on the opposite side of the room from the TV and runs up the wall, over the ceiling and down the other wall. So, an SWM would be perfect for this install.
My question is, does he need to have DirecTV put the SWM onto the work order or have SWM's become the standard multiswitch for HD installs of 5 or more tuners?
