DIRECTV – SWM Wiring
Follow these steps to connect DIRECTV SWM
receivers to the TracVision system
(circular LNB
and TV-Hub A required) .
NOTE: You can connect non-SWM receivers as well,
as explained in “DIRECTV – Non-SWM Wiring” on
page 14 .
Connecting 1 SWM Receiver
Connect an RF cable from the “SWM” jack on the
TV-Hub to the “Satellite In” jack on the receiver/
DVR (see Figure 18).
Connecting 2-8 SWM Receivers (or Tuners)
a. Connect an RF cable from the “SWM” jack on
the TV-Hub to the “SWM” input on the SWM
splitter (supplied in the kit) (see Figure 19).
b. Connect the SWM splitter’s outputs to the
“Satellite In” jack on the receivers/DVRs (or
“Network” jack when connecting a Genie
client). You can connect any number of SWM
and Genie devices that add up to 8 tuners or
fewer. Refer to Figure 19 to determine the
tuners consumed by each type of device.
c. Terminate any unused outputs on the SWM
splitter with the supplied 75

terminators
and verify all connections are tight.

If you need to receive local channels on the
119W satellite, and you want the antenna to
automatically switch between the 101W and
119W satellites, you need to use the DIRECTV
coax network. See Appendix B on
page 30 for
details.
