119/110/61.5 DPP 44 Question

[Hunter Mackenzie]

right now I have a DISH 500 with a dpp lnb with 61.5 hooked to the input of that lnb...I have 2 lines going directly to the receivers...I want to hook up a DPP 44 switch with another dish at 72.7...do I have to run the 61.5 line seperate to the DPP 44 switch or can I take the 2 lines from the 500 switch which combines 119/110/61.5 already and just add the line from 72.7? I have an extra dish and the switch already thats why I'm not changing to the EA Dish trying to use some extra equip in basement...thanks

Well, that's still a hybrid setup an unsanctioned. (It works for now.) Anyhow, the DPP44 turns off the switch inside your twin. So you need to run 4 cables from the LNBs to the DPP44.

The DPP Twin should have an input on it, you may be able to run from 61.5 to the Dish500, and run check switch once connected.

Say what?

That's what is currently being done. Using a DPP44 puts an end to that so each satellite slot will need its own cable.

OOPS, my bad, skipped over part about adding 72.
