Hi,

I read about new multiswitches that allowed for dual tuners using one cable. Can someone point me to where I could buy such an animal?

Thanks.

I just found it - SWM8.

Sorry.

Note that the SWM is for specific DirecTV boxes such as HR20 and HR21 that support it. If you put in a SWM you need to run the two "legacy" outputs for a TiVo.

Just to clarify Steve's point ....

The Single Wire Multiswitch won't provide dual tuner support with one satellite cable for your HR10-250. You'll need two cables, one for each tuner. The SWM8 does provide "Legacy Outputs" that you can use for your older equipment.
