Dish Pro Plus LNB Availability

[Cyclone]

I called the Tech Forum and asked when the DPP LNB would be available. The transferred me to the appropriate contact. She said that it is currently available, but must be purchased via retailer. Later in the chat, it was indicated that the DPP LNB was begining to ship.

So my questions are:

1. DishStore.net availabilty?
2. Price?
3. Any tech specs?

Cyclone.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Seems like they will tell you anything to get you off the phone.

The Dish Pro Plus Twin is NOT avaiable yet.

On last weeks Retailer Chat they said that they hoped to have them available by the next Retailer chat (in 3 weeks)

As soon as they begin to ship you can bet DishStore will carry them.

 

[Cyclone]

Is it here yet?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still got about 2 more weeks.

Hey, will this just outright replace my existing Legacy Twin LNB? Somebody posted somewhere the that Dish (the pan) itself is different between Legacy and DP LNBs. I dismissed that as BS, but want some reassurance.

Oh, and for the 61.5 slot, can I use just a regular DP LNB, or will there be a DPP lnb that I'll need for that?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes it will replace it.

Yes the 61.5 would be DP and then it hook up to the input connector of the DPP Twin.

Does anyone have any pictures of the DPP LNB? Do they look just like the DP?

 

[bcshields]

We haven't been able to get any on the RSP level yet... I'm waiting with baited breath.

Scott has a First look here

It includes pictures.

I have another question. Does the DPP LNB require a power inserter like the DPP44?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No it does not.

 

[Cyclone]

Thats one more reason this thing should have hit the streets before the DPP44 did.

 

[Cyclone]

Oh, and one more thing. The DPP LNB will not require a DP adapter to allow my Dish 6000 to work with it? It has Legacy support?

 

[StevenD]

I have a weatherproof box that my switch sits in. The box itself has power in it (it was made for sprinkler controllers) and I had planned on putting the power inserter for the DPP44 in the box...but that damn thing is HUGE!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No mention of the DPP Dual LNB on Todays chat. So looks like they are still delayed.

As soon as we hear something we will let you know.

 

[Cyclone]

Is it here yet?

Is it here yet?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope... I talked to some at Dish yesterday and was told not to expect it until the end of January.

 

[Cyclone]

Now my panties are in a bunch. I'll post again in January.

 

[Cyclone]

Look at what I found. Its a DP+ LNB pdf file.

Read up kiddies.
