Directv Genie DVR and Winegard Carryout


Recommended Posts

The Genie is a SWM-only receiver. The Winegard G2 is a "non-SWM" device, but it is relatively easy to convert it to SWM.  I believe the G2 has two coax outputs.  All you have to do is connect both of those to a SWM8 switch and add a PI-29 power inserter.  

Use the diagram on page 5 of this document and you should be fine:  Guide for using Winegard antennas with SWM

Docj, thank you so much for this info. I will look into getting the switch and power insert.

FWIW the parts can be bought on Amazon for less than Winegard sells them for,
