    105 superdish dp34 & 61.5 how to connect?

    ADVERTS 1
    Currently have the 105 superdish installed with a dp34 switch.I aslo get cbs-hd which is off the 61.5 sat.currently the dp34 is setup like this
    input 1 is the 119 sat
    input 2 is the 105 sat
    input 3 is the 110 sat
    I have a single dish pro lnb that is pointed at the 61.5 sat.Can i replace the input 2 105 sat with the 61.5 sat signal or do i have to configure it differently?

    You can do that and run a switch test but you will lose your locals from 105. What you need is a DP44 switch, which as far as I know, does not exist yet.

    I have a Superdish but I moved to an area where i don't need 105 for locals.I don't think the LNB on my dish pointed at 61.5 is Dish Pro because I've got everything connected right and can't get the 61.5.Is there any way to get all 3 if the LNB isn't Dish Pro?

    If you have a mix of LNBF's.. something's gotta go. It's either all legacy or all dishpro, including switches.

    BTW, the easiest way to check if the LNB is dish pro is to see the logo on the back of it.

    We tried cascading a DP21 switch before the DP34 to get all 4 sats and it hasn't worked.. need to wait for the DP44.. last I heard was late spring.
