2 hoppers off a single tap, OK?

I see there is a power inserter in one of the diagrams, what does it do and is it a must?

on a DPP44 switch, you usually want to put the power inserter on port 1 of the switch. The duo node then connects to 2,3,4.

It's definitely recommended that this particular DPP44 switch gets power so that it doesn't put any additional strain on the receivers.

Thank you. The installer is a very nice person who is trying to help. I have never had an inserter in the first place but we will do that.

I have always had weak signals on certain 118 transponders during the day. Realignment usually helps, but do you think the lack of a power inserter can be a factor?

lack of power should not drop transponders but over time it will kill the box 3monts- 1 year depending on how much you use dish. With the hopper it is need like others are saying when a 44switch is used

Thank you!

Can the power inserter be injected into the circuit at a different spot not directly on one of the switch ports? Somewhere after the output of the duo node?

The 3 outputs of the DPP44 going to the 3 inputs of the Duo Node and the power inserter seems to come in at one of the hoppers.

The power inserter should not be connected anywhere after the duo node. Needs to be before the node on port 1.
