I have a Wineguard carry-out satellite dish and am needing to buy a direct-tv receiver for a second connection to the bedroom. SD is fine and don't need DVR but would be nice to have. Can anyone tell me the models I should be looking to buy second hand that will work with this setup.
Thanks.

I think it's me! Mr. Satellite!
You will be able to use any of the DirecTV receivers with a model number of H24 or lower. If you want a DVR then I would buy an HR24. The only reason you would need the SWM hardware is if you REALLY wanted a DVR. The Genie allows you to watch and record up to 5 channels simultaneously (in SD only with a dome). The SWM hardware costs around $100 and is simple to self-install.
The additional advantage of SWM is that only one coax from the Carryout to the receiver would be required to power a DVR. Without SWM, if you want to use a DVR you must run both coax cables from the Carryout to the DVR.

Bill,
Thanks for the information.
I am really confused and know little about how all the possible hardware and configurations are affected.

If I purchased a couple of SWM MRV 2-Way Wide Band Splitter GREEN LABELSWM MRV 2-Way Wide Band Splitter GREEN LABEL. (I found this on E-Bay for $5.79). Would I be able to use the two cables from the Carry-out to each of the splitters, and attaché a DVR model receiver to each splitter ? If I understand this, I would then be able to watch or record two shows on each receiver for a total of four at one time. Am I correct ?

I have a single RG-6 cable coming into my trailer at the rear, and have installed another near the bedroom (front). Would I be able to install the two SWM splitters inside the trailer near the receivers and simply run two short cables to the receivers? Do the splitters require any wiring or additional power other than what the dish and receiver provide ?

In effect I would like to run two separate RG6 cables from the
carry-out to two SWM splitters and then run 2 RG6 cables from the splitters to each of the two separate DVR's.

I know this is a lot of information to ask of you. If you don't feel like training a newby, I'll certainly understand, otherwise, I appreciate what ever assistance you can provide.

Thanks,
Barry
