Splitter for Directv Slimline

I don't believe you can do that. Each satellite receiver needs to be connected directly to a single LNB per feed. If your dish has multiple LNB's (many do, mine has at least three) then you could probably dedicate one LNB to your neighbour.

Try the 2 by 4 (2 inputs, 4 outputs) multiswitch. I've done this in the past but was using a 18" round antenna with single LNB. It seems to me that if the cable from your slimline antenna is a double cable, then it would work.

If it's a SWM dish (has just one co-ax connector at the dish), get a DirecTV SWM Splitter. If it's not an SWM dish (multiple co-ax connectors at the dish), you'll either need separate cables to the dish for each receiver or you'll need to convert to an SWM setup using a SWM multi-switch.

The slimline has four connections in the head just run the wire and hookup.

If it's not a SWM antenna you can swap out the LNB for a SWM LNB and a power inserter and you can run that to the SWM splitter (green label). from there you run one coax to each location and you can run a standard receiver, a DVR or a Genie. You could even add another splitter if you want to run more than one receiver in the house or the RV.

If it's not a SWM, you don't have to convert to SWM. A non-SWM LNB should have at least 2 coax connectors. Run a line from each RV to one of those connectors. If it is SWM, and has more than one connector, do the same. If it is SWM and has only 1 connector, use the splitter referenced above. It should not be a problem under any conditions.

Only the SWM system will let you run multiple receivers IN EACH RV, or a DVR using both tuners. If each RV has only 1 receiver, and does not want DVR multiple tuner capability, you don't need the SWM.

Not exactly true.. The multiswitch Traveler I have supports 4 receivers off the antenna and will switch up whatever LNB is asked for by any particular device. Don't confuse a single or dual output 18" LNB, because they are not the same.

Is that not what I said?

When I said "at least 2 coax connectors" I allowed for the ones that have 4 connectors.

The only problematic one is the non-SWM that has only 1 coax connector, and they are so old and rare as to be unavailable.
