The DP Twin is not just a DPP Twin without an input for wing dish. This is totally WRONG man... if this is the case please explain how a DPP Twin with dish pro plus separator works!!! How can the signal from two satellites be sent down one segment to two tuners AT THE SAME TIME IE When PVR is...

And these switch integration issues prob have to do with what port on the DPP Twin is sent to what port on a DPP44. I think what happens is they have the wrong ports from the DPP Twin sent to the wrong port on the DPP44. This would make the ports backwards and only a checkswitch would resolve...

I wish not to share the costs and am rather shocked you'd ask as it's inappropriate don't you think! Everyone seems very concerned about voltage. I have a 4SPI-20 inserter with 1.4 amps of 20v current with less than 20' of cable between the inserter and the LNB. Unfortunately I live in Canada...

Just bumping this thread for response why so many feel that using a Dish Pro Plus Twin LNB with a Dish Pro Plus 44 switch is a bad idea. In the Echostar "Technical Reference Bulletin" for the DPP Twin LNB on page 15 it clearly shows it connected to DPP44. It also mentions not to use DPP Twin...

Yeah I used two amps. Signal enters the cable at -8 dBm. Insertion loss average across bands is around -48 dbm so I figure it's entering the LAL282a-T autogain around -58 dBm though I didn't measure as I didn't want to know LOL... I did measure though at the DPP44 receiver ports and it is...

hey TheKrell!!! Well I just finished it as the Sonora LAL205a-T had shipping problems. I measured the cable with my JDSU gear and it is actually 728' !!!! At the IRD ports on the DPP44 I tested -34.6 dBm no matter what transponder/frequency. That autogain function on the LAL205a-T is just...

My lack of knowledge? "haunt you for a long long time" Screw you jerkoff... nice help and nice POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!! If you don't have anything to contribute... SHUT UP!!!

little bump as my posts have been moderated

I was also under the impression that when a DPPtwin is connected to a DPP44 it goes into bandstack mode and does no voltage switching what so ever. It also disabled the build in switch for third orbital slot. Am I wrong?

I thought of that but customer wouldn't want two dishes at the entrance to their million dollar water front property. The wife already complained/asked about putting the dish else were it's it's virtually impossible as it's facing north north west and to the south south east it's up a hillside...

Well I've measured signal at the dish and it's around -32 to -36 dbm. By the way it's for Bell TV 92/81. What I'm going to do is this... DPPtwin-->16' RG6 1829RC-->Sonora 4SPI-20 inserter at 20V-->3' RG6 1829RC-->Sonora LA282A-T 28dbm amp for around a -6 to -10 output--> 600' RG11...

I'm about to do an install requiring a 650' IFL using RG11. The two RG11 segments will be between a Dishpro Plus Twin and a DPP44 switch for house distro to first receiver being twin tuner PVR using DPP bandstacked displexor. I'm curious what amplifiers and/or voltage insertion I will...
