Problem solved - I hit EBay for a new DP34 for $40 delivered and it works like a champ. I suppose a splitter would have been cheaper, but I couldn't find a DP rated one with power on only one leg. Thanks for your help.

Can anyone help clear this up for me, bearing in mind that I can see only the 119 satellite?

In another thread (625 Upgrade & keep single cable to set) I posted "Here in the US Virgin Islands my installation includes a Channel Master Type 120 1.2 meter (48") SMC Antenna with a legacy dual lnb feeding a 508 and a 301 through 100 feet each of high quality RG6 coax marked good to 2200. I...

So if I want to run a single cable from one output of a DP dual LNB to the location of a 625 two-tuner receiver, is there a passive device such as a splitter, diplexer or separator that will complete the install, or must I use a DP34 switch instead?

Thanks for the reply - am I right to reason from your definitions that a DPP Separator is in fact a diplexer? Functionally, they seem to be identical. Are there issues around feeding DC power?

What is the difference between a splitter and a diplexer? And between those two and the DishPro Plus Separator? Are diplexers *always* used in coordinate pairs? Must splitters never be used between LNBF and receiver(s) - only in distribution to TV sets? Can the DPP Separator be used in any...

PS to my last post - will I see any difference in performance between the DP34 setup and the simple splitter suggested by the installer?

The 508 and the 625 will be far apart in different rooms, and right now the two locations are wired home run to the legacy dual lnb. Distances are under 100'. That is why it would be easier to feed the 508 on the current cable from the antenna if that will work. Then, as I understand your...

Thanks for the quick reply and suggestions. I plan to replace the 301 with the new 625, and continue to feed the 508 with the second port on the lnbf. Does that change your suggestion?

Here in the US Virgin Islands my installation includes a Channel Master Type 120 1.2 meter (48") SMC Antenna with a legacy dual lnb feeding a 508 and a 301 through 100 feet each of high quality RG6 coax marked good to 2200. I can only receive the 119 bird (I think that has to do with the signal...
