Can a DP21 and a DP Plus Twin combine to get 4 satellites?

Guys (and gals),

I haven't tried this before but is it possible to add a wing dish to a Dish 1000 by using a DP21 switch with the DP Plus Twin LNBF to get the following 4 satellites? Namely, the 110, 119 and 129 from the Dish1000 and 61.5 from a wing dish. Thanks a bunch!

I don't think so, the DPP Twin is only compatible with DPP Switches. However, I believe I read that it was also compatible with the DP34 provided you added a power inserter from a DPP44.

However, if you can feed a DPP44 and a DP Dual into a DP21, it seems like maybe you could. But then I would wonder if the power requirements of the DPP Twin would damage the DP21?

The moment you connect a switch to the DPP Twin, the satellite IN port is disabled. So, NO a DP21 won't allow you to get 4 satellites. You'll need the DPP44 switch.

Thanks, guys. I guess there's no shortcut to this one like with the DP21 and DP34 switch combo. Thank you for the quick responses. Much appreciated.

No problem. BTW, love the answer JL gave you at the other site.
