I would like to install a dish 500+ or 1000+(110/119/118.7) using a dishnetwork Duo 222k reciever. I would like to know which DP switch to use for this DPP set-up.From what I read, a DPP33 does not work with DPP LNB's which I think this set-up is ? But then I was told by others that this set-up needs either a dpp33 or dpp44. Can someone tell me which type of switches are compatible with this set-up?
Also can I use a DP34 or will that not work?

Neither the 500+ nor the 1000+ have internal DPP switches. So you can go with a DP34 as well as a DPP33 or the pricey DPP44. Obviously (from the 1st digit) if you get the 1000+, you will need a DPP44 since the 1000+ has 4 DP LNBs (for 110/118/119/129). No power inserter is needed for a DP34 nor for a DPP33. As noted above, each tuner would need it's own cable run from a DP34.

Actually, the satellite inputs of the 44 switch should be 119, 110, 129, 118 on ports 1,2,3,4 respectively. The 44 switch should have the power inserter even if used with a ViP receiver. If the receiver fails that is on port one (power output of the receiver), the whole system will go down. I have seen very few failures of inserters compared to receivers. I always include the inserter in my installs with the 44 switch.

Can I combine a sw21 switch near the DP34 inorder to have only 1 cable go to the reciever and use a seperator on the 2 tuners or will that not work?

No you can do a 34 switch and two lines to the receiver or use the powered 44 switch and use only one line to the receiver.

Check on Ebay for a good deal on a DPP-44 if you just want one wire coming in. With FTA going bye bye you may find some good deals.

I have been running my 625 on a 44 switch fir 2 years now without a pwr inserter. it is the only receiver being used on it.

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big city :rolleyes:

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

You don't like Tony, or Tony as the Director (he's only been there for 30 seconds now) or you don't like NCIS ?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!




Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I've seen it twice. Can't recommend the audio book enough, Ray Porter's performance is amazing and there's so much more in the book than the movie.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.

I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
