Hi all, I am a new Dish Network subscriber and would like to add a fourth receiver and OTA to my current installation. Could you please take a look at my proposed setup and let me know if this will work? Thanks!

Your diagram is fine but make sure you are using the Dish separators not splitters at the receivers. I also am not sure at the triplexor on the 722K. Use a separator and put the power inserter before it. I recommend using the Holland diplexers.
Looks good to me. Be sure to use dish approved diplexers. Cheap ones will work, but only for a little while.
Also missed this, use another diplexer at the 211 receivers, not a splitter. The triplexor is alright.
Thanks for the help! One more question...the DPP44 has 4 inputs...could I just insert the OTA signal at the 4th input instead of adding the 4 diplexors?
Yes, your diagram is correct except the diplexers are always installed in PAIRS. So you need to use one at both ends, including for the 211's, and not a splitter. (The triplexer is OK for the end with a dual-tuner receiver, such as the 722. It includes a separator and diplexer in one can.)
I agree that your diagram looks good. Where you have the "splitters" at the 211k's you will need to replace those with diplexors. Also, the power inserter for the DPP 44 would probably be best located nearest the switch to port 1. You may also need to run a cable directly from your 4-way splitter to the 722k if you are already using the triplexor for the tv2 backfeed. If you do not have tv2 hooked up, then using the diplexor/triplexor would be fine for the 722k.
Using Dish Network approved Holland (RED colored) splitters and diplexers (just use the BLUE colored for certainty regarding current) will preserve the original Dish Warranty and extended DHPP. Dish stands behind the Hollands.
