thanks, it is a business that im going to this week so i just want to be prepared to answer questions, bell has installed the dish but not sure what lnbs yet....all they have told me is they "want 5 tvs hooked up"....so not sure if that means 5 receivers yet or not....im thinking they might...

how can i run 5 receivers from one dish? i know an sw44 does 4 receivers, but i need 5.... on a seperate note....is it possible to run multiple tvs from one bell receiver? (4 or 5) if they all are watching the same channel all the time?

just in case anybody is asking the same question....it does NOT work....the MA rating is different....another thing i found out was the power inserter from a DPP34 is also different from the DPP44 and are not compatible/interchangeable....

not sure where to put this question, just wondering if anybody knows if the power inserters from a SW44 and a DPP44 are compatible/interchangeable? i have a power inserter from a SW44 and i would like to use it on a DPP44 switch, will this work?

thanks! :)

Okay I think the mystery is solved then, this guy already has a seperator at one of his receivers, so that must mean he has a DPP, is that correct?

okay im starting to understand....lol one more thing i cant seem to find info about.... are there TWO DIFFERENT types of "twin" LNBs or just one? i mean is there a "dish pro twin LNB" AND a "dish pro plus twin LNB"?? or are they the same? or different? if they are different will they BOTH...

okay so assuming his LNB is a DPP Twin, that means i can use a DPP44 switch and seperators?

I'm trying to figure out what his current LNB is, he has two lines running into the house, one goes to a dual tuner with a seperator, the other line goes to a single tuner receiver, Is it safe to say because there is a seperator currently installed the the LNB must be a dp twin dual output? Or...

Can the quad output be used with seperators?

is this a new type of lnb? i have never seen this before....is it likely to be currently installed on a bell system? i have a customer wanting to hook up more receivers, i just took a very quick look at his dish and from a quick glance it looked like a dish pro twin, he already has 2 cables...

that should work, do you have the power inserter connected to port one? sounds like a bad cable or connector/cable end

is this LNB the same as a dish pro twin LNB but has 4 outputs instead of two? DISH500 DISH NETWORK/BELL 500 SATELLITE+QUAD LNB SW44 | eBay can this be used with a DPP44 switch on a Bell system?

thanks, is the power inserter from a sw44 the same as the dpp44? i have a power inserter from a sw44 and would like to use it if possible on the dpp44

thanks for the replies, would a DP34 switch work for this application? i noticed its alot cheaper,

Ok thanks, how much do dpp44 switches cost? Average? In canada? Should I buy it at bell? Or online?

so i just need two wires from the dpp twin into the dpp44 then i can run 4 receivers? and how do i hook up the power supply for that?

thanks....so if i have two cables from the dpp twin going into a dpp44 switch i can run 4 receivers from that? even if they have seperators at the receivers?

i have a customer who currently has a dptwin LNB(internal switch)....hooked up to this is one SD receiver with a direct cable run, and a second HD PVR receiver with a direct cable run and a seperator at the receiver.... they are wanting 2 additional receivers hooked up so i am thinking a dpp44...

yes he is correct...HD is on 82w and you can not get that satellite there very soon you will not get 91w there also....

so you can use diseqc switches? how does the dual shaw lnb work? do you need two cables out of it for each receiver? is it basically two lnbs in one housing?

what kind of switches do they use? are they the same as bell?

yeah we shovelled and salted the roof so that wasnt too bad....the problem came when trying to get down....just as i stepped on the extension ladder the bottom of it at the ground started to slide away along the ground....i just hopped back on the roof in time....lol

yeah pretty much....i guess my questions were more aimed toward the actual receiver itself because i didnt have any experience with them....only hitch was coming very close to slipping off the roof once, there was about 2 inches of snow the night before....my heart skipped a few beats....lol

got it done in a couple of hours, thanks again for the info, it went well, pretty simple :)
