Hello,
I am getting ready to order DirecTV for my new house (don't currently have DirecTV) and I am going to use an SWM8 due to only having 1 cable run to each room in the house. I have already ordered an SWM8 and a SWS-4 from Solid Signal. The house actually has an outdoor OTA antenna which I plan to use since there are no HD locals in my area from D*. I want to have as much in place as possible for when the installer comes since he technically won't be able to do anything with the SWM8.
From what I have gathered, I can run the 4 feeds from the dish (and 1 feed from the 72.5 dish in my market) along with 1 feed from the OTA antenna all to the SWM8 outdoors. From there I will only have to run 1 wire inside of the house. Inside the house I will put the Power Supply in line and then split the signal with the SWS-4. I assume I need diplexers at the receivers. Can anybody recommend a good diplexer?
Am I missing anything else that I need to get? Is my estimation on how things wlll be set up correct?
Thanks for the help!
