It would be really awesome if the installer DID use a DPP Twin, at least then the bulk of the programming (110/119) would be coming in. Furthermore, two receivers (regardless if they're DPP or just DP tech) would be available for use.

If this is your setup you will need about a 6' RG6 to run from the DPdual or single to the DPP Twin, this would give you all three sats on the 622 and maybe the 942 also... would this not work webbydude?
I was thinking I had tried that just playing around before I hooked the 1000(129 only) to the DPP44 last year 
Thanks
Thanks
I am at work now, but I called my son and he said it is a DPP Twin. So I guess I will need to do some disassembly/reassembly of the 1000 when I get home.
Just got home and it looks like my son was wrong. There are 3 single DP LNBF's on the 1000. So I guess I am stuck with one satellite per cable then?
That's what I was afraid of. His installer more than likely came from the same RSP I work with. They recommend putting 3 single/dual LNB's in that type of receiver configuration.
Well, the Dish tech came today found that the DPP44 was ok, it was the power inserter. He said my setup did not need the power inserter because all my receivers were DishPro technology. He bypassed the power inserter and all is well. That was the only thing I did not try. Live and learn I guess.
Hmm, once again the installer is not correct. Yes, you have a bad power inserter and by removing it he fixed the problem. But, it's imperative to have the power inserter in port 1 to supply power to the LNBs and switch. The receivers are now supplying more power than they were designed to. You may have problems in the future with the receivers.
I would just buy a power inserter online and take care of the problem.
Yes, there is. There are Legacy receivers, Dish Pro receivers and Dish Pro Plus receivers.
Legacy receivers: 4 digits receivers (1000, 2700, 3800, etc)
DP receivers: 3 digit receivers. (301, 311, 501, 510)
DPP receivers: dual tuners (622, 625, 522, 942, etc)
EKB: DishPro Technology
Thanks, RandallA. I will call Dish back and request them send me a new power inserter. Now I have to send back the DPP44 switch they just sent me.
you might have a bad connection somewhere in the line with your power inserter so the switch is not seeing the inserter
I'm with Randall on this. The DP receivers are doing a bit more work to power up the DPP44 switch. How much is up for speculation. In the short-term you'll be fine. The problem is you may eventually burn out a receiver here or there.
I tried moving the inserter next to the switch where my 510 is and that didn't work either. The red light is not coming on showing the inserter has power, at least that is what the tech said. My electric went out last week so I'm betting a surge knocked it out.
I seen a system work fine for about 4 months without a power inserter, it had a 510, 622, and a 942 in the system.
I went there on a service call because no recievers were working, I searched up and down throughout the house to find there was no power inserter installed.
I installed power inserter - system restored.
