Works great
I installed this unit to replace my previous multiswitch when I converted to the DirecTV 5 LNB dish for MPEG-4 HD signals. I just removed the old one and connected up the WB68 with no problems, with either the 3 LNB dish before conversion or the 5 LNB dish after conversion.My old multiswitch had a power brick that had to be plugged in in the attic, while this unit is powered by voltage on the coax from the satellite receivers. This would be a definite plus if you were installing it in a location that had no power available. I was always concerned about the possibility of the previous unit's power supply catching on fire in a superheated attic, but that is not a possibility with the WB68.

Installed this and Signal Strength Improved?
The WB68 offers an inexpensive way to increase the available inputs from your 5LNB KA/KU or new Slimline 5LNB dish. This is the only Multiswitch approved by DirecTV to process new MPEG-4 signals.I installed this device when expanding inputs from four (max with the dish alone) to six. Installation was a breeze and - to my utter surprise - signal strengths noted during guided setup of new DirecTV HD boxes actually IMPROVED.Highly recommended!

Great multi switch.
I installed this myself switch so I could add 2 more(4 total) Tivos with 2 tuners each of my satellite system. Unit worked great until I added a free upgrade to HD DVR. I was told that my dish would have to be upgraded. They the installer ran new cable as we as replaced my switch... I checked, the installer replace my switch with 2 of the same model as this one.Don't cha love it.
