1. You order an installation and wait for it to happen.
2. If you have your heart set on DIY and have money to throw away, you can buy the adapters for around $40 each, any necessary band-stop filters and a SWiM switch/LNB if you don't have one already.
DirecTV will install all equip for $149 ($99 equip, $49 install). They often waive the $49 install depending on your account status. Give a call and see what they will do.
You certainly don't need DECA to use SWiM. If all you really want is SWiM, you should search some of the existing SWiM (or SWM) threads.
With respect to why you should consider ordering DECA from DIRECTV, two reasons:
1. DIRECTV will support a DECA system that they install. There seems to be a question about whether or not they will authorize a DECA system that wasn't initially installed professionally.
2. It probably can't come cheaper than what DIRECTV offers if you have two or more non H(R)24 receivers. Don't forget to count an extra DECA adapter for your LAN/Internet connection.
sure thank you I am guessing a swim lnb swim mulitswitch etc. This is what I am more interested in.
However if I do this I thought I look into those deca and was just curios how they work.
I just lost on how they hook up on my network unless you need to run a cable from switch to router.
I am just looking
