Purchased as I do not have a SWM (single wire module) setup and ordered a new HR24-500 receiver / recorder. Depending on your satellite setup and receiver model, you may require a B-Band converter to receive HD signals from all the satellites.

The item works as expected and the model received was the newer model (smaller version) than shown in the picture.

I bought two of these. They are the newer style ones and not what was pictured in advertisement. The one pictured is the original looking one from a few years back. Units work good. Only reason to buy one of these is if you just bought an HR24 HD DVR and you do not have a SWM system either by having a SWM lnb or a SWM multiswitch. All other HD DVR's shipped with BBC's.

Anyhow, bottom line these are inexpensive and a good deal. You will need to purchase 2 of them for the HR24 if you wish to use 2 tuners.
