Switch Recievers

The DVR (HR24) was installed in the wrong room. Can we switch the DVR from the bedroom to the living room (HR24-700) w/o any problems?

It would depend on your setup and how many cables you have going to each unit,  so U need to supply more info.  What unit do U have in the living room?

Since you have SWM you should be able to simply swap the two boxes.  This assumes that your bedroom coax cable is also connected to your SWM splitter.  Do not change any connections to the SWM Power Inserter, just remove the satellite coax from the back of each box and swap the boxes.
