I purchased a Eastern Arc DPH LNB to replace the DPP Plus LNB. Before I install the new LNB I need some technical guidance on what I need extra or what I can eliminate or shouldn't do. Presently I have two dishes EA and WA wired into a DPP44 switch using satellites 61.5, 72, 110, and 119 going into a VIP222K utilizing the two receivers from the DPP44 outputs. I'm willing to disconnect the WA LNB and stay with the EA LNB, but I want to use the new DPH LNB. Please help. I also considered purchasing a WA DPH LNB to use with the EA setup. Hope I explained my situation OK.

Starting a little bit of a ramble to answer some questions here.
Going to start with wondering what the OP wants to achieve here. His current setup, with mixed arc DPP LNB's and a DPP44 should be more then enough to feed even 4 222k's at the same time if he really wanted to, going DPH does allow single cable runs to each receiver from each Port with the use of a separator but so does DPP LNBF's. Unless the OP were going to a Hopper system (or a fleet of Wally's) changing the LNB's here does not make sense.
Once the DPP44 receives a valid DP signal (coming from either a DP Singl/Dble or DPP/DPH in DP mode) from each satellite you would like in your setup, it will create a DPP signal on each of its outputs containing said set of satellites. Each DPP feed is capable of serving two tuners with the use of a separator. No need for extra wires from the switch to the receiver, just one from switch to separator and then two cables from separator to each satellite input on the receiver, which should be how you have it wired now. To summarize, using DPH LNB's here will leave you with exactly what you had before, except with the added inability to get satellite 129, which seems to be a non-issue to you.
You do not want to cascade multiple switches (in this case the internal switches on the LNB's) without the use if a power inserter, as the input port on the LNB's are only designed to feed a single DP horn (be it a Single or Double output). The excess power draw will eventually damage the LNB, or even worse, the receiver in the long run. For experimenting? Sure, but not on something you want in the long run. Also no real point to it, something I will get to latter.
Never got around to actually attempting to get satellites in because I only have one tripod available, might try it one day with the roof mounted dish though.

Unless the OP were going to a Hopper system (or a fleet of Wally's) changing the LNB's here does not make sense.
Before getting in deeper Ill add some context first. DPP and DPH LNB's have internal switches already. These switches allow connected receivers to use the same coax run for multiple satellites and tuners at the same time, two tuners per run in the case of DPP, and 16 tuners in the case of DPH. While a DPH LNB can feed a DPP44, it will not present all of the satellites with one cable alone because when connected to a switch both DPH/DPP LNB's disable their internal switch, effectively making them a DP single feed (In other words one satellite per wire). Each port on the LNB's feeds a different satellite, the order for port 1/2/3 on EA is 77(Rip, also not present on current EA LNBF's)/72/61.5 and WA it is 119/110/129. The WA DPH lacks a third output as well, making it only capable of feeding the first two (119/110) meaning that while it can work, it is not ideal compared to a WA DPP that has all three necessary outputs.
Once the DPP44 receives a valid DP signal (coming from either a DP Singl/Dble or DPP/DPH in DP mode) from each satellite you would like in your setup, it will create a DPP signal on each of its outputs containing said set of satellites. Each DPP feed is capable of serving two tuners with the use of a separator. No need for extra wires from the switch to the receiver, just one from switch to separator and then two cables from separator to each satellite input on the receiver, which should be how you have it wired now. To summarize, using DPH LNB's here will leave you with exactly what you had before, except with the added inability to get satellite 129, which seems to be a non-issue to you.
Port 2 does different things depending on what is plugged into port 1. Ill make a little table for your convenience:
| Device on DPH Port #1.... | ...will make DPH Port #2 output: |
| Nothing | A DPX/DPP/DP signal. |
| DPX/DPP/DP receiver (722/222/211/Hopper1-2 etc.) | A DPX/DPP/DP signal. |
| DPH receiver (Hopper3/Duo/Wally) | Disabled. |
| DPP/DPH switch (will always be 119 on WA or 72 on EA) | DP signal (will always be 110 for WA and 61.5 for EA) |
Very. Bad. Idea.
You do not want to cascade multiple switches (in this case the internal switches on the LNB's) without the use if a power inserter, as the input port on the LNB's are only designed to feed a single DP horn (be it a Single or Double output).

Nope, not happening. As previously mentioned, the DPP/DPH LNB's will run in DP mode while connected to another switch. The end result here would be, for example, a WA LNB able to get either 72 OR 61.5 on its input from the EA LNB, never both, not to mention my previous warning with running cascaded switches. The only semi-feasible way to get 5 satellites at a time is cascading a DP21 off of a DPP44. Hence where I got this nice picture:
Never got around to actually attempting to get satellites in because I only have one tripod available, might try it one day with the roof mounted dish though.

My EA and WA setup. As you can see trees in the window reflection
I deal with in the summer in satellite 119. I don't use 129. These dishes go to a DPP44 switch.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though
You say that like it's a Bad thing or something ...

Just finished S2. Watching Gary Oldman as deshvilved, dejected MI-6 agent, Jackson Lamb, is one of the best things streaming right now. Already 2 more seasons in the works. HIGHLY recommended. And yes, Mick Jagger sings the theme.

Now right up front....this is NOT intended to devolve into a "pot is good" vs "pot is bad" thread. The whole point is to make you aware of a potential problem that a person can develop when they start smoking pot at a young age. Not that they WILL, but CAN. Kinda like getting lung cancer from smoking cigs....some do, some don't. The purpose of posting this news story is to keep anyone from paying an outrageous emergency room bill......knowledge is power.
While this may not affect you, you might run into someone who is experiencing these symptoms and can share the info. Fortunately, it looks like stopping smoking is the cure and isn't a permanent condition.

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.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Don't know if any of you have watched this series yet, it would be interesting to see if you feel this review was accurate. It was very humorous to listen to however.
