Add a SWM-LNB/SWM-ODU and be free of BBC's.

I just installed my SWM-LNB/SWM-ODU. Almost forgot that the BBC's are not only no longer needed, but that they interfere with receiving a signal, thus they must be removed. Thought after wiring the new LNB, the PI and the eight way splitter that I erred somewhere. Then I remembbered the BBC's. Removed BBC's............ ahhhhhhhh! Signal back.

Do you have anymore info this? I don't really know what it is. I found something on eBay but it doesnt explain what it is and how it's different from a regular lnb.

Paid for all my *stuff*, I have installed all since 1995. So if a BBC went bad, getting replacements wouldn't be *free*. With two per DVR, it is a bargain to be done with them.

Also noticed some better signal strength.

You could still get the BBCs free even if you bought your receivers separately most likely. You are still a Directv customer

But yes, the SWM is very nice technology for those who need it, a bit overkill just to get rid of the BBCs though.
