I have grown tired of my condo building not acting to install an HD compatible solution in the building (right now only have access to the 101 slot). I am going to purchase my own dish, mount it, and run the cable into my unit. To keep it as minimal as possible, I would like a dish that is SWM compatible, only having one wire from the dish to the power inserter in my unit. Is there a dish on the market that can do this (if so, where?), and is there a distance limit on how far the power inserter can be from the dish?

Thanks for the help. I have a HR20-700 if that makes a difference.

You want the SWMLine dish and the only place I know of that you can find one right now is eBay or a member here (dave29) I believe can still get them.

As for the distance from dish to PI it will not be a problem in a apartment.

think the swmline (5lnb with SWM built in) will be availible very soon.. this would be your best bet.. I have run mine with over 100' PI>dish

i have swm equipment. You would have to check with your complex, and see if you have line of sight for a KA/KU dish. I read you only have access to the 101. Is that because of orientation of your apartment, and regulations?

Thanks for the replies, I will wait for the SWMline to come out (timeline?). We only have access to 101 because the equipment in the building is so old. Clear line of sight to the birds. I was going to mount on the roof of the building and drop the coax down to my unit. Most elegant, not really, but maybe having coax on the side of the building will get the board to act.

National launch is supposedly August 20th. Cross your fingers, DTV tends to push things back at the last minute.
