I got directv slimline SWM connect to one TV(living room)How I connect the bedroom TV to the dish.The dish have only one cable coming out.The receiver I got is H25.

If you only have one receiver then you need to run a new HDMI cable from that receiver to the bedroom (through an HDMI splitter) for HD programming there. You will have to watch the same channel on both TV's but it will work. You should also get an RF remote and the RF update for the H25.If you want to be able to watch 2 different channels simultaneously then you will need one receiver at each TV. To accomplish this you will need to add the DirecTV SWM splitter into your current coax setup and run that new cable to the second TV location.

I got 2 receivers but I don't know where can I install the spliter.

I put the splitter where the outside cable entered the LR entertainment center. There is a cable there also that goes to the BR and to the Basement. I put a short cable from the splitter to each and I have a receiver in each place.

The SWM LNB has 4 coax connections. Take the LNB off the dish bracket and install a second coax.***ON EDIT*** This LNB will not work with a H25 receiver. I use it with 2 - H24 receivers and 2 - SD receivers. -Tom -Tom

The SWM splitter can be located before or after the power inserter. If it is used before the power inserter you will see that the first port of the splitter is marked with a red dot and indicated DC Pass. This one port must be the one that is used in conjunction with the power inserter.

I had the power inserter after the splitter and when the power went off the system always defaulted back to the non-SWM dish and I had to go and change it back to the SWM dish. Put the inserter before the splitter and that wouldnt happen.

I have the splitter on the roof of the RV. One cable runs to the Genie and the second cable runs to the power inserter and loops out to connect to the H25. I have never had an issue with power loss. It's designed to work either way (that's why it's marked that way on the splitter) so what works best for you is best.

No one has mentioned that on the Slimline 3 SWM there are actually 8 signals coming from the dish. We have a DVR that only needs 1 cable since the DVR can select 2 of the signals. We use the splitter to get a signal to the bedroom TV and still have 5 signals left to use.
