Thread: 5 lnb wiring diagram

My dishpro plus 44 is full and I'd like to be able to add 77W when it comes on line in the next month or so.

I recall someone explaining that the receivers can support up to 5 satellites and what is needed to add the 5th. Might have been Iceberg but I can't find the thread in my searches.

I thought one uses a DP21 switch connected between the DPP44 and the receiver to get a 5th satellite. I think it renders the DPP bandstacking back to DP so the combiner cannot be used. But I could be mistaken about this.

It's very rare when someone needs the full 5 satellite setup. Unless there are Line of Site issues, we can get you all of your channels with 4 sats

Would this mean, acvording to the diagram, that the single tuner in the diagram would not get the 5th sat?

Not that i need this. I am just interested.

That is correct

actually you could get that in there. This is one of the few (maybe the only) where a satellite splitter would work since its DishPro (and dishpro is bandstacked)
Put the splitter on the 61.5 output and then run the outputs to the DP21's. You would only need one output from the 61.5 LNB and can hook it to 4 DP21's

Thanks for the wiring diagram!

It's kinda like those that want to climb Mt Everest. I don't need it but just want to see if I can do it.

Has that been verified to work?

Yes, it will work. I'm sure that there is someone on this forum that has a 5-satellite setup
