its not just the hr-22 it is any hr unit from the 20 up that is compatible with the swm equipment. if you notice they all have on the #1 input labeled either swm or ftm for the single wire input from swm switch or dish. a maximum of 8 tuners can be used with swm equipment. remember that i am referencing tuners not boxes. each hr has 2 tuners. you can manually set it up to only use one of the two if need be. so on a swm dish or smw switch you can have 8 h series boxes or 4 hr series boxes or any combination in between not to exceed 8 tuners. if you are coordinating the dish install keep in mind the swm dish that only has a single rg6 out that goes to a splitter that you will only be able to have a maximum of 8 tuners. if you think your job will need a 5th hr box or 9th h box etc. run 4 from a standard au9 dish to your coax distribution point so you can splitt those four and go to two swm8 switches. you cannot have more than 8 tuners on the swm dish period. with an au9 you can use a swm-e2 or swm-e4 or fmc-6 chassis to put 2,4,or 6 swm8 switches for 16,32,or 48 outputs. make sense?
Makes perfect sense, thanks. We did have a conversation about the 8 tuner max. The installation has 4 receivers so were maxed out right now. Its a highrise and running new cable requires opening up the firebrick ceiling inside the apartment and up to the dish. Our plan is to do the demo for new cables or install a video switcher if the client ever wants to add a video zone.
