What is SWM powered antenna?
SWM Single Wire Multiswitch. There is one coax from an external power supply that powers the LNB- You can add the DirecTV SWM hardware to the Winegard dome antennas. You will only get the DirecTV SD programming but it will work.
Here is the setup information required to update your antenna. You can buy the SMW8 switch and the PI 28 or 29 online for around $100.

If I recall correctly, the 3500 had the primary port reversed and instead of doing a direct line from the dome to the SWM8 you must cross the cables.
You will only be able to receive programming from the 101 if you ever used it to toggle between local Networks on 119 and everything else on 101. donn0128 wrote:

- There are 2 outputs
- DirecTv are the wrong people to ask. Call Winegard -- they will know.
Bruce - How many outputs on the LNB?
