You will want to understand where the different cables are going from this SWM adapter. In my case, they were going to another box that was an original Cox cable installation for the house. I identified a ground wire that was existing.
Next, I hooked the antenna to the existing coaxial cable line into the house. My house is wired in every room with coaxial cable. This is probably common sense but worth noting that the signal is strongest the closer you are to the antenna and the least amount of splits in the line as well.
Now that we have all of the connections completed, we need to see what comes in on your TV. Next, find the coaxial cable that runs from the wall outlet to the back of the DirecTV box and unscrew it from the DirecTV box. Once removed, find the cable connector on the back of your TV and screw the cable in. The next step will be for your TV to catalog the new HD channels it is receiving.
Since we all have different brand TVs, I recommend finding the remote that came with your TV, you can use your DirecTV remote if you programmed it to control your TV, but more on that later. Your TV will then scan for channels based on the signal strength. Scroll through the local channels you want and watch each of them for a few minutes.
If not, you may need to go back to your antenna and adjust the direction it is pointing. I spent about 30 minutes calibrating the antenna based on the various signal strengths I was receiving. I had one minor issue during my transition to HDTV. A TV in a bedroom was only getting half the channels that the others were getting.
I thought it was a signal loss because this was our master bedroom and was the furthest point from the antenna. When the DirecTV installers were at our house we had them run coax to an outlet so we could have a TV on our patio. Turns out they spliced the cable in this bedroom and there was a SWM adapter on the line!
It could be wishful thinking but I honestly believe it to be the case. I also thought that this process would be much more difficult than it really is. I really wish we had done this sooner because we do not miss DirecTV. The only reusable parts of the DirecTV dish would be the mounting arm of the dish.
