📺 DirecTV 8-Way Wide Band Splitter: Enhanced SWM LNB Connectivity Solution Review

This broadband splitter is advertised as having 7 ports. Came undermined and without terminators. I was unable to contact the seller directly before posting this review. It should have been like the photo.

On the plus side I got what I ordered, everything looks fine, includes all terminators and arrived before the estimated delivery date. However, someone drew an arrow on top of one of the terminals, suggesting it was a used product.

Not connected yet; However, I think it is important for you to know that what you will receive is not what is pictured. Pictured is the one you get from Directv. The one you get is similar to others sold on Amazon and has 9 ports at the top. Reading other reviews I assume this will work well but it is not what is advertised.

For DIY enthusiasts and DirecTV subscribers, this item is needed to convert a legacy system to an SWM system. With SWM you can set up a Whole Home DVR system and use an existing single RG6 cable for every room in your home. Since the signal goes to the TV signal connection box, this special splitter is needed to distribute the amplified signals from the SWM box. This product is great and was also shipped quickly by the seller. Pros: Works as promised. Disadvantages: none; You will need a 90…

That leaves only 3 out of 8 tuners open. My old setup had 3 HDDVRs with two HR21-HR24 tuners. I had to decommission two old tuners in order for the Genie to function properly. With SWM enabled, only one cable is required to use both tuners on the HR24 and the B-band converters must be removed. Every…

Other reviews mention that it has no DirecTV branding. Mine works and works great. I have 4 fixed receivers and a 5th that I move from room to room from time to time to set up multiple TVs, so the 4 port splitter DirecTV gave me didn't work. I connected this thing and now I don't have to go to the splitter to change which wires are connected. Mine also came with 7 or 8 f-type terminators which was an added bonus.

I combined this splitter with https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBDHXLO/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_64 The splitter was probably overkill because it is limited to 8 active tuners .
