Adding a 4th Sat to a two dish (3 Sat) Setup

My current setup:

Dish 500 w/ DPP Twin (110 & 119)
Dish 500 w/DP Dual connected to above (129)

The two outputs of the DPP Twin connected through diplexers and separators to a dual tuner ViP 622 & 625

Questions: How do I integrate an additional Dish 500 w/DP Dual LNBF to get the 61.5 Sat into my setup?

Since there is duplicity in a number of "channels" on the 129 and 61.5 Sats, how do the receivers select a particular duplicate "channel"? IOW, what prioritizes the selection?

Thanks.
 
You will need a DPP44 switch to combine 4 satellites. As far as to what satellite the receiver selects, it selects randomly. I wish they could add something to the software that if signal is lost on one of them to search for the other, but that ability is just not there yet.
 
You need to do as randall says and get a dpp44 and use 3 dishes or swap one out for a dish 1000.2 and then you would not need a dpp44 switch and can run 6 tuners.
 
Thanks for the responses. I'm going with the 1000.2 dish option. This site is the best for getting knowledgeable info!
