When you go over 8 tuners you need a SWM 16. You have 6 now and will be moving up to 10. Just order the DVRs from Directv and they'll do the rest.

He has six tuners now and wants to go to eight. That's no problem with his current setup.

You are ok.....just notice that the guys used the term "tuners." Think 2 tuners per recorder (HDDVR) and one tuner per receiver (IRD). It is a small distinction but if you start adding recorders you start using up available ports pretty quick.
And the SWM (Single Wire Multiswitch) uses splitters while earlier equipment uses multiswitches with multiple ports. Order what ya want....the guys with the tools can sort it.

Yes, thats the nice thing about ordering directly from D*, if you order recvrs and the total requires different equipment, dish, LNB's switches whatnot, they will take care of it for you.

Oops! I somehow saw 2 HR24s instead of H24s.
