New MP1 & DirecTV Receivers and accessories?

[Kelly C]

Bought a new MP1 last week (5/24/12) and have some questions once I opened it up.
There was a yellow NOTICE inside that states "Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas require mult-switch technolgy and will not operate with any DIRECTV SWM only technolgy receivers without seperate accessories".

With this notice in mind and the setup manual not offering clarification, it is not clear if I need the following accessories to make this system work with one of my household receivers:
Directv SWM8
Directv PI-28 or PI-29 Power Supply
Directv Splitter

The manual does have setup instructions for a DIRECTV D12 Receiver but does not address the accessories issue if they are needed or not.

I have three receivers in my house I can use with the MP1:
DirecTV D12-700 (2 years old)
Sony SAT-B65 (12 years old)
Sony DSS SAT-B2 (9 years old)

I'm not planning on using a DVR, just want a simple dish to receiver hookup to watch TV/listen to music without all these accessories if need be.

If I have to add these accessories, how much ballpark will it cost?

Thanks for your assistance.

Kelly,

The D12 will work fine but it must be reconfigured for use with the MP1. You can find the instructions on doing that in this document: http://www.winegard.com/kbase/upload/re ... irectv.pdf
