Everything said is correct; what's missing is what you're going to do with the feed after you install the SWM8 and it's Power Inserter.
You can of course plug up the SWM receiver/DVR on the output port of the Power Inserter (PI). But you didn't spell out exactly why you're going the SWM route to begin with, or what number of 'tuners' you actually have, or their location.
These little SWM splitters at:

allow you to 'space out' your cable plant, especially if you are utilizing original 'cable tv' cable around to areas of your home (like an upstairs bedroom/den or others).
There are, as you can see, a 2-output, 4-output, and an 8-output device, all with dual power ports. I use these babies by the boatload in designing MDU plants, and in my own home have two 4-port units, one right off the SWM8 output to run 3 outputs, 1 to my backyard 'shed' unit (where I keep my RV w/ DVR), and another run up to one bedroom (original RG6 installed 'cable tv' run from when the home was built back in the 80's).
The third run goes into my living room, where it hits yet another 4-port- unit, and from there to the PI, and out to a DVR and a stand-alone HD receiver, as well as 'looping around' to go down yet another cable to go up to the master bedroom (where I have another DVR).
Of course, the original installed cable tv cable (all RG6) meant the somewhat wacky runs and such, but the little 'splitters' made it all possible.
As you can see on the units, they have two DC ports (for the PI), and then the additional ports are for any receivers. Dirt Simple. And Very Cheap. Even if you plan out your cable runs and such, get an extra one for 'future expansion' and for if you change your mind on how to do things by the time they arrive.
