Combining a Dishpro Twin and a Dishpro plus??

[geeknik]

I live in a very difficult spot for satellite service. Directv came out and didn't even attempt. I have dishnetwork equipment and am trying to get signal down here.

I can get 119 with about a 130 signal strength in one part of my yard. However I can't get 110 at all. Just across my driveway I can get about 80 to 90 signal strength on 110. BUT I get nothing on 119.

The only option I can find is to combine my two lnb's with a dp21 or dp34. Can the Dishpro twin and Dishpro plus LNB's be combined? Does this seem like my last resort or do you guys have any other suggestions before I go out and buy the switch.

Thanks in advance,
Eddie

Your best bet would be to get 2 DP Duals and D500s, one for each orbital location. Combine said Duals with a DP34 or DPP44 switch.

I'd like to see that 130 on 119 seeing the max is 125 on the signal strength. How many receivers are you going to use? I think 2-24" dishes at different points in the yard with DP DUALS(not TWINS) and the most appropriate switches. DP21 for single receiver/DP34 for upto 4 receivers & DPP44 for dual tuner receivers. Sounds like you alredy have a receiver and dish if you can get signal strengths what models are they?

LOL!! I was willing to let the "130" part slide. Pretty sure the OP typed that in error. But have to admit, I wonder what his signal really is.

my bad...typo

i have about a 110 signal strength on 119 right now. nothing on 110...im sure when the leaves fall off the trees i'd be fine but that does me no good in the summer hahaha

i think i am going to get these 2 dual lnbs i found on ebay and a dp 34...

i have an older pvr not sure of the model and the standard reciever from a few years back 322 maybe... i think thats what they are anyway

You can be dirty and use a DPP Twin, set the skew at 90 (zero) tune in the a bird and just run the line from the main dish to the other with a dp dual.

Many options....

So with my dpp twin i can plug a dp dual into the "B" connector and run to the reciever from the "A"?

Is that what you are sayin?

Thanks
