The SWM is the latest HD LNB setup for DTV customers. Signal reception is slightly better over the previous 5LNB and now you only need 1 line out from the satellite LNB's (no matter how many recievers you have) with the power for the LNB's no longer coming from the reciever. It is much easier to split the signal to several recievers and initial alignment is a bit more difficult for the DIYers. The picture on this item of the LNB is not of the SWM LNB. The SWM LNB has one line out and one large "egg like" oval in the center of it.

I received the dish ahead of schedule and it was packed well. The installation was a bit tricky since there wasn't any instructions. The alignment was really difficult but possible. Once again some instructions would have been helpful. I'm an electronics/ computer tech so my experience served me for this but I pitty the normal individual trying to install and align this dish.

Ordered SWM Slimeline 5 LNB. Shipment was fast! while perform an inspection of items, found i was missing 8 way splitter and PI. Yest upon further inspection i received a SWM SL3 LNB rather than a SWM SL5 LNB !! DirecTV SWM Slimline 5LNB Complete Kit very unhappy customer! paid $90 more then others!

This thing never worked and caused me a year of misery and money. It is not hd, only hd compatible. DO NOT get SWM (single wire multi switch) there are a ton of known issues with them.

I ordered this dish for upgrading my directv service before contacting directv. Wasn't I surprised when directv informed me that they would upgrade the dish for free. I then cancelled my order from AmazonMarketPlace (APEXSUPPLIERS) 45 minutes after placing the order. A week later after several unanswered phone calls and e-mails APEXSUPPLIERS finally sent me an e-mail that they cancelled my order.
Interesting they then charged my credit card for the full amount, $152.32. Imagine my shock to open my statement and find that. My advice is to BEWARE of purchasing items from APEXSUPPLIERS.

Es el producto exactamente como lo necesitaba, desafortunadamente no trae un instructivo, sin embargo lo busqué en Internet y encontré uno en inglés que me ayudó con la instalación.

Recieved Item in damaged condition from ups, refused it. Notified shipper, was told a new one was on its way, never received item. who is to blame cant say, but vendor should have corrected the problem by now.

Hey I just found out that you can get $100 of Directv on top of the current deals with the code 46422934 at [...]. It was on some website, I used it and got it. I found a hundred codes but that one worked for me.
