Dish 311 and 3900 and a quad

[KC8YCZ]

I just got hooked up and was wondering, I have a 311 reciever and a 3900 reciever with a Dish 500 sat and a DishPro quad lnb. Will I need a switch to run both recievers. I was told by Dish Network that I won't and after doing some reading it appears that I may. Dont want to hook up anything until I know for sure. Don't want to damage anything. Hopefully thats enough info. Great site. Keep up the good work.

You need only DP ADAPTER for 3900 reciever.

Dp Adapter

Is this something I can pick up at the local Radio Smack (Shack) or is it a specialty order? Thanks for the quick reply on the last one.

I am not sure about Radio Shack, but you can call Dish Net. and buy directly.

Cool Thanks.

Radiohack does not sell dp adapters so you will have to go through dish or a local dealer for it.

Why not just simply buy a DPP Twin? I'm sure it's a bit cheaper than buying a DP Adapter.

Or replace the 3900 with a Dish Pro receiver, 111/301 & 311's are all available probably for less than the DP adapter.
