DishPro Plus 44 Switch Review

**dfergie** · 07-21-2004 10:23 AM

The setup I want for my 6000 is 148,119,110 and 61,5 (would have my 501 hooked up too) I would need the dishpro adapter too would I not?

The DPP-44 has the DishPro adapter built in so no DishPro adapter would be needed with this switch.

Are these DPPlus-44 switches adaptable to legacy and regular DPPlus receivers and lnbf's or do you have to have only the DPP lnbf's and switches when used with the DPP-44? I assume that it would work with any receiver that could accept a DP adapter and perhaps has a DPP adapter built in as well. I thought I read in a post where you had to have a DPP receiver in order for it to work. If that is the case what is the point in having a DP adapter built in if the legacy receivers do not work?

Thanks stargazer...

Its gonna be nice not to have to use my a-b switch(and the obligatory switch check) to go from cbs-e to cbs-w

No you would not.

Thats one of the great things about the DPP44

Scott,

I've never been clear on this. When hooking up a two tuner receiver to a DPP44, do you need two separators or one? i.e, do you use two outputs from the switch combined into a separator and then split with another separator at the receiver or do you use a single output with a single separator?

Scott:

Can this single line from the DP44+ also carry the OTA signal from a roof antenna, therefore feeding the 2 satellite and the OTA inputs in the receiver, using a diplexer?

Many thanks for the nice job, again.

My DPP44 came in today. Am I understanding correctly that I can add a 148 dish now so I can get CBS-WHD? I didn't want to go through the hassle with the sw21s, etc. Currently I have 119, 110, and 61.5.
