Considering the runs from the 1000.2 are each long enough to reach the IRDs why would someone have installed the DPP44?
I thought the three cables from the 1000.2 would be good enough for any existing Dish IRD and that she could connect up to 3 IRDs, even if they were ViP722s using the DishPro seperator.
Is this not correct?

Proud Staff MemberYou're correct visiter...the DPP44 is not needed. The ONLY time I can see it being needed is if the tech installed 3 DP Duals or single LNB and not the integrated LNB setup (or if you need more than 4 outputs).
Some of the older D1000 setups had 3 separate LNB's so they needed the switch. What I would do is run the cable directly to the receiver (bypass the switch) and rerun check switch and see if it still works.Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites
