    I'm lost!

    Yes, I started this headache wanting to add another receiver. At this point I am concerned with the DP34 going into cascade failure like Van suggested. If it does fail, can I replace it with a generic switch or does it have to be a DP 34? I haven't found any local dealers that sell DP stuff ar...

    I'm lost!

    Less than 10' from switch to the rx getting good signal. Probably 40' of RG6 to the weak signal receiver. My wife is watching TV now so I'm not allowed to play with stuff while it's in use. I may try swapping cables around again tomorrow. The rest of the evening I'll finish running a cable to...

    I'm lost!

    I'm only after 110 and 119. I wasn't getting any signal through the #1 port on the switch. Switching the cable from the LNB that receives 119 from #1 to #3 corrected the loss of signal and now I have both satellites working but I am having to use input #3 on the switch to get it. Port #1 appears...

    I'm lost!

    I switched out my DPP twin for a DP twin in order to use a DP34 switch and add an additional receiver. After all connections were made and double checked, I ran the check switch setup and it came up with NC on #1 but found the twin on #2. I swapped the cable on #1 to #3 and the check switch all...

    Application info for RG6 and RG59 cable

    Nevermind! I just saw the post below that answers all my questions. I would have searched but mentioning RG6 would bring up half the threads on the site! Matt

    Application info for RG6 and RG59 cable

    I'm just curious, why the two cables and what is each used for? Is one better than the other? Thanks,,,Matt

    Dish tech said this will work. Is she correct?

    Dish tech said this will work. Is she correct?

    I have a DP twin headed my way. Does it have just two outputs like the DPP twin? It's a simple matter to run a second cable to my 522 but a real PITA if I have to run additional cables from the dish. I hope this all works out well. On another subject, how many TVs can I split off to from one...

    Dish tech said this will work. Is she correct?

    So, just to make sure I understand all this, I get a DP twin and swap it out for my DPP twin. Are there two outputs on the DP twin? Assuming there are two, run those cables to my DP34 switch. Run two outputs from the DP34 up to my 522 and one each to my 501 and 311. Eliminate the separator on...

    Dish tech said this will work. Is she correct?

    I thought I tried this but the 501 wouldn't work. I have two cables coming from my dish. I connected both to the DP34 but my 522 had errors but would get some channels. My 501 wouldn't work at all. Is there something between the LNB and the incoming lines? I'm learning this stuff but...

    That pdf answers a lot of questions. Thanks crappieguy! Unfortunately, it also looks like my only solution is a DPP44 switch. Matt

    Dish tech said this will work. Is she correct?

    Is there anything I can do to use the DP34 with my DPP twin and drive three receivers? I'm trying to avoid buying a DPP44 switch. Thanks,,,Matt

    Dish tech said this will work. Is she correct?

    That's what I figured. I figured if it was that easy, someone would have suggested that in my other thread. I bought a DP34 switch but later found it didn't work with the DPP twin. I asked about that in my other thread but never got a clear answer on a setup using it. Thanks,,,Matt

    Dish tech said this will work. Is she correct?

    I have a DPP twin LNB. It has two cables coming into the house. One goes to my 501 and the other goes to my 522. Just before the 522 there is a DPP separator that is splitting the signal and feeding both tuners. The tech said I could buy another DPP separator and put it on the other cable...

    Newbie setup issues DP34???

    With the prices of DPP44s so high, I don't care to go that route. There are currently two cables coming from the dish and entering the house. I am guessing that there is something also connected between the dual LNB and my DP34 that is causing problems with the DP34. I'm guessing the separator...

    Newbie setup issues DP34???

    I went looking at the local Radio Shack for a DP44. They did not have one but they had a couple others made by Terk. I am assuming they won't work with the DPP twin either. They didn't have a DP twin lnb either. I have a buddy that is looking at an old dish he has to see which lnb it has. he...

    Newbie setup issues DP34???

    Not sure what you mean???? I thought the DPP twin was the type of LNB on the dish. other alternatives? Thanks,,,Matt

    Newbie setup issues DP34???

    I have a 501 and 522 hooked up to a DPP twin dish. I tried to install a DP 34 today but the 522 has errors when I check switch and the 501 doesn't show any connection. I uninstalled the DP34 switch and checked that both receivers are still working fine and they are. Does this switch not work...
