75 ohm terminator needed for Power Inserter?
I have read that it is recommended that on a SWiM setup, the power inserter should be installed on a dedicated line. Right now, the "Signal to IRD" on my power inserter goes to a H24 in my office. If I move this cable to one of the outputs on my 8 way, do I need to cap the IRD output on the power in

Those caps are 75 ohm terminators and they screw on and off easily. In the Whole Home system, any unused ports must be covered by a terminator cap. Luckily, the splitter comes will all ports capped, so you'll have a sufficient supply. Some installers

I have whole home networking set up with the newest model HD-DVR and HD receiver. We have one DECA unit on an unused coax outlet currently. Is there any reason I can't plug the DECA directly into the SWM splitter and the cat5 into the router, which is also in the same area? It seems to me this is

Be sure you put a 75 ohm terminator cap on any unused splitter or power inserter ports. The new splitter will come with some attached.

You have it right. Be sure to disconnect any unused coax from the splitter and cap the unused output with a 75 ohm terminator cap (the ones that come on the splitter).

Question
If the PI is downstream from the splitter as yours will be, then it must connect to the red, Power Passing port. I believe the PI will also need a 75 ohm terminator on the unused ODU (receiver) port.

I just ordered two 2-way splitters, so I won't need any terminator caps. I won't be able to make the move until next weekend, after I receive the splitters and I have some free time. I'll let you know the results after that. Thanks again.

Couple quick questions regarding options for RG/STB connections/cabling
FYI: There is no "coax network" in our home. Each coax cable is run individually (same goes for the CAT6 ethernet cabling noted). Here's our current setup: NID->HPNA Diplexer, with coax running from Combined port directly to our RG (I believe a 2Wire 3800), while the HPNA port is directly connect

Yes, pardon the confusion over IRD and ODU... it is the IRD port that needs termination and the ODU port connects to the splitter red port. The splitter should come with terminators which you won't need since all 8 ports will be in use, so you should

Correct. Directv has found that the system works best if all receivers, the power inserter and the router connection all have individual feeds. Be sure and place terminator caps on any unused splitter ports, plus the open port on the PI. If all of

testing continuity of coax cable
Previous homeowner had 3 coax cables going thru a conduit and didn't label the cables. I'd like to label each end so I know which cable is which on both ends. I do not currently have a satellite signal, but I could hook the cables up to a receiver to generate a "current", then test the other end.
