This is basically a repost, and I apologize...
That post has a PDF document with a drawing that shows my real estate lot and part of my problem. There used to be a D300 attached to my house, which could spot 119, but not 110 (tree in the way). It may be able to spot 129, but I'm not sure. The current dish (500) spots 110 and 119 okay, but probably can't get 129 (additional tree problem).
Can I move the 500 back to the house, use the 110 LNB to hit 119 and the 119 LNB to hit 129? This would require a dedicated dish to hit 110, but I'm okay with that, if the rest of the math is good.
The easy fix seems to be a dedicated dish for 61.5, but I can't get Kansas City, MO local HD, and I'd kind of like to.

You will find some debate on this forum on if the DPP Twin LNBF is compatible or not with the DP34, or even the DPP44. In either case, it is a waste of money and parts since a DP Twin is cheaper. However, people say it will work, I've read a Dish publication where it says you need a Power Inserter or you will need at least 1 DishPro receiver connected at all times, I've read a more recently Dish pub where it says do not use the two, and someone said they have problems with those setups.
So maybe you should look at swapping the DPP Twin with a DP Twin.
A coax between a transmitter and antenna should be as short as possible, as well as an exact length for the specific frequency you are transmitting on, which is usually not possible. In cases where you have extra cable, you would coil it in a certain size, but I think I forgot that formula 43 years ago.
I do (almost) remember in the early 90's of a requirement to coil excess Cat 5 cable in a certain diameter - I think it was somewhere around 5 or 6 inches.
With 2 diplexers you could insert a VHF/UHF/Cable signal onto a coax cable with a satellite signal, and then separate the VHF/UHF/Cable signal near the receiver. I think you should be able to pick up a couple of diplexers for less than $15. You're right, the DPP44 is not cheap, but if you were to use one, ask the forum first, because I believe the diplexer cannot be between he Power Inserter and Receiver Port 1.
DishPro Plus switches currently are not cascadable, except for when configuring 5 satellite locations by using a DPP44 with 1 DP21 per tuner/receiver. So yes you would need to run 2 cables from the DPP Twin LNBF outputs to the DP34 Input 1 and Input 2. I believe Sat 119 will default to Port 1. This will disable the switch inside the DPP Twin. Then you will need to run the 3rd cable to Port 3 on the DP34.

Except for maybe a drip loop for the rain and snow, I don't think a loop will make any difference, that usually applies to transmitters.

I haven't posted in almost 17 years. Over the air, sat, offline, anything-but-the-internet is still one of my avid pursuits. Been playing with offline tv viewing and offline web browsing. I have great appreciations for this site still being here. It's so hard to find public communities that haven't sold out to social media company.

I was reading this article
thehill.com
That said this-
Last summer, for the first time, streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime claimed the largest share of the television viewing audience, surpassing both cable and broadcast TV. Streaming captured 34.8 percent of July viewers, according to Nielsen data, compared to 34.4 percent for cable and 21.6 percent for broadcast.
And then, sometime in the second half of 2022, cord-cutters became the majority. The share of cable and satellite television subscribers dipped to 48 percent, according to a report from Samba TV, a television technology company.
Now I do not consider those with YTTV and the likes, Cord Cutters, but they still do not have Traditional Cable/Satellite delivered Live TV, so I decided to do the math.
There are, now, 129 Million Households in the United States.
In 2015, there were 100 Million Cable/Sat Subscribers , no streaming Live TV Service.
Today, there are 66 Million Live TV subscribers, including Cable, Satellite and Streaming.
Roughly, Streaming Live TV has 14 Million subs including all of them.
So that means, Cable/Satellite now has, roughly, 51 Million Households
So in just 8 years, lost 49% of their subscribers and by the end of this year, expected sub count to be, roughly, 45 million households.
That means a total loss of 55% since 2015 at the end of 2023.
But out of 129 Million households, 45 million will mean only 35% will get Cable/Satellite Delivered Live TV by the end of 2023.
Imagine what 2024 will be like.
Cable TV ‘cord-cutters’ became the majority in 2022
The steady decline of cable and broadcast television, and the rise of streaming services, reached a sort of inflection point over the past year. Last summer, for the first time, streaming ser…

And again, 15 months in a row, streaming wins-
Cable and Broadcast added together-36.4%
Streaming with a massive 49.6%, 13.2% higher than Broadcast/Streaming.

This was actually one of the more disturbing videos I've seen on this channel. IF this guy hadn't been driving a Tesla which has 360 degree cams, he would probably become a felon and had his life ruined.....all because of a lying cop. The other officers in this video didn't impress me too much either, their whole mentality was how can we nail this guy.
This is a perfect example of why I'm always a bit nervous when I get below Perry, FL. There is a huge difference between north and south Florida and everyone who lives here knows this.

This is a thread that will keep you apprised of 4K events that will be showing on Dish channel 540. Keep looking here for information.
As of today, 9-27-17, there are no scheduled events posted for the next 2 weeks. That is subject to change on a daily basis.

The following is from Reddit. -
View: https://www.reddit.com/r/DirectvStream/s/orzHBkmqQW
There appears to be a new DIRECTV Gemini OTT box, the C81KW-650.
The FCC listing is partially available, and a Geekbench entry confirms it uses an Amlogic S905X5, a solid SoC for a set-top box.
I also see 4GB of RAM, and the manufacturer is SEI Robotics.

Ok found a picture of the Box too on Reddit:

Didn't see a thread like this so I figured why not start one. This is about natural supplements. If you aren't into supplements, fine, but please let those of us who do want to discuss this discuss it.
The first one I wanted to mention has been a real life changer. I'm 62 and still do all of my own install work at my business....also do all the yard work at the house. A few years ago I started noticing that I was losing my range of movement, it was even getting hard to bend over and lace up my boots. Almost got stuck in an attic because I couldn't get turned around once the work was done. Didn't think much of it and figured with age comes stiffness that was only going to get worse as time went on.
It was then that I stumbled across a video which was discussing rotator cuff tears and why they were to prevalent these days. Turns out, the culprit is a simple deficiency in MANGANESE which is key in keeping your tendons flexible. Most anti-biotics strip your body of any manganese it might have had which is why certain anti-biotics, especially those in the Cipro family. I actually knew a man who had two tendons tear while on that stuff.
Went to Amazon and ordered some manganese. Now it took a while, it wasn't instant, but gradually I have regained all of my flexibility. I can bend over and touch my toes while standing with no pain and putting on my boots is no longer a chore.
Pretty cheap too. The bottle I ordered was a 200 ct for under $13. They said to take double the normal dose for the first month because most people are severely lacking, then go to one a day.
