1000.2 and dish pro (not dish pro +)

[saheisler]

My current set up is a dish 500 with a dish pro (not dish pro +) head.

From the head I have four cables running from the head to my first switch (only two of the four cables are being used). The switch is a SW 34.

From this first SW34 I have two drops to my first receiver (soon to be my location for my new dual tuner VIP 722)

Also from the SW 34 I run two cable to another SW 34 (second SW 34).

From my second SW 34, I have four drops, two each to 522 receivers.

Now you know what I have, here is what I want to do

I want to replace the dish 500 with a 1000.2


Question, can I still use my SW 34 with the current set up and if so, do I need to run another cable between the two SW 34? Remember the receivers off the second SW 34 are and will remain 522 receivers

Do you mean DP34 switches?

you wont need any switches bro. the 1000.2 has DPP tech which combines the two lines you've been using into one. therefore you can run your two 522's and your new 722 with one single 1000.2 LNB

Hes right. There are 3 outputs and 1 input on the 1000.2 LNB. You will however need to get DPP Separators for your (2x) 522 receivers, since they will now only require one cable line.

o yeah forgot about those, they are very crucial hah

He needs 3 separators but the 722k should come w/ one, so he will only need to buy 2.

If you call to upgrade the technician should give you the separators when he sets you up:up.

When the technician comes to do your upgrade, he will take care of it. Your switch will be gone when he leaves.

1000.2

Ok so the separator is the one that goes in the back for the receiver right?? also the 1000.2 doesnt need any switch meaning i can run one of those outputs to the receiver and thats it!??

Yup. I'd ground it along the way tho.

However, I do believe that should you ever need to use an external switch for the 1000.2, it must be the DPP44 (and possibly the DPP34).

You have to use DP LNBs in order to use a switch, otherwise the switch in the DPP lnb and the external switch fight.
