Converting Directv tripod to SWM LNB


Recommended Posts

We just bought a Travel'er and it works great without trees. We realize we need to convert our tripod set up to a SWM. I know I need an SL3-SWM LNB. No problem, found on Amazon. We also want to install a switch by the receiver to switch between the Travel'er and the satellite tripod when needed. We prefer a switch to unplugging the coax cables. Our installer told us we needed a high isolation switch. We found several on Amazon that might meet our needs.

 

Our problem is we are unsure what the definition of "high isolation" is. Is 90db sufficient or should we keep looking. This is the one I am looking at:

Any input would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

You will also need a 120V Inserter. too power the LNB
