Is it ok to feed two hoppers off a single duo node host output via a tap?
Duo node host output 1 ----> tap ----> 2 hoppers. This is for a 2H/2J system.

i believe there's an example in those wiring diagrams of a duo node coming off of a DPP44 switch.Thanks. Currently, I have Latino and international packages so my Dish Plus has 4 outputs feeding a switch (i.e. Video Path Multi-Dish Switch). The installer is thinking about keeping the switch and then feeding the duo node off the switch output. This is because the Duo Node has 3 inputs only. Is this Ok?
I see there is a power inserter in one of the diagrams, what does it do and is it a must?
Can the power inserter be injected into the circuit at a different spot not directly on one of the switch ports? Somewhere after the output of the duo node?

As for activating the Hoppers and Joeys. I read that we should activate the Hoppers and let them download the software first and then go to the Joeys. Can the Hoppers be done at the same time? Is there any order?

4 Satellite outputs ---> DP44 switch ---> Port 1 to Power Inserter and other 3 O/P ports to ----> Duo Node ---> Host 1 to tap--> to Hopper 1 and a splitter ---> to Joey 1 and Joey 2
Hopper 2 is connected to Duo Node's Host 2. Caps on Client 1 and Client 2 of Duo Node.
Does dpp500+ support 4 satellites? I was told I will need two antennas to achieve this with the new ones so I kept the existing one. I have international and Latino packages.
I posted this on a different thread because we had other troubles. Is this setup Ok?
