I am new here, so not sure if this is correct forum. Move post if necessary. I'll try to be succinct and informative, hopefully.
We live in our motor home full time. We currently have 2 HR21-200 DTV HD DVRs connected to a Slimline5 single wire dish on a ground tripod running through a green label DTV approved splitter and 21V power inserter. And yes, I set it up every time we move and set up again for any length of time. I've gotten pretty good at it, but its tiresome.
We have finally decided to spring for a Winegard TRAV'LER SK-SWM3 DIRECTV Slimline roof mount and upgrade to DTV hr44 and one client. The wiring looks pretty straight forward, nearly identical to our current setup.
Here's the catch. I want to keep the ground dish (Slimline5) for those occasions when the roof mount is blocked by trees or whatever. Question: Can I simply run both antenna leads to the splitter area, insert an AB switch and switch back and forth as needed? If so, what AB switch will pass the 21V to the LNB? Do you carry such a switch and what is the part number? If I can't do that, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
Grumpy.
