DIRECTV – Non-SWM Wiring
Follow these steps to connect non-SWM receivers
to the TracVision system
(circular LNB and
TV-Hub A required) .
NOTE: You can connect SWM receivers as well, as
explained in “DIRECTV – SWM Wiring” on
page 13 .
Connecting 1-2 Receivers
a. Connect an RF cable from the “Legacy 1” jack
on the TV-Hub to the “Satellite In” jack on the
receiver (see Figure 20).
b. When installing two receivers, connect an RF
cable from the “Legacy 2” jack on the
TV-Hub to the “Satellite In” jack on the
second receiver.
Connecting 3 or More Receivers
To connect three or more non-SWM receivers,
you need an 8-output multiswitch kit (KVH part
no. 72-0677), which includes two DC block
splitters.
a. Connect an RF cable from the “Legacy 1” jack
on the TV-Hub to the “Antenna” jack on one
of the DC block splitters (see Figure 21).
b. Connect the “Primary” jack on the DC block
splitter to the “18V” jack on the multiswitch,
and connect the “Secondary” jack on the DC
block splitter to the “18V/22KHz” jack on the
multiswitch.
c. Repeat steps a and b with “Legacy 2” and the
second DC block splitter using the “13V” and
“13V/22KHz” jacks on the multiswitch.
d. Connect the multiswitch outputs to the
“Satellite In” jacks on the non-SWM
receivers.
e. Terminate any unused outputs on the
multiswitch with 75

terminators and verify
all connections are tight.
