I currently have a dish setup with a legacy lnb with dual output into a switch feeding one sonic view receiver and a dishnetwork vip222 receiver.
i went ahead and purchased another vip222 receiver but only had one more output on the switch so i decided to purchase a compatible dp switch and lnb which i got the dp34 and the dish pro single "dual" lnb pictured below since i didn't want to have to run additional cables to the room where the 2nd vip 222 would be located. I read basically that using these switches and lnb i would be able to send the signal down one cable and then use the supplied triplexer to feed both tuner outputs.
now i'm reading this equipment is not compatible and i would still need to run 2 cable from that lnb eliminating the switch.
currently i have 2 cables coming from the lnb to the satellite inputs on the dp34 then one cable from the dp34 out to the room where it goes into the triplexer and out to tuner 1 and 2 on the receiver. is this correct.
also i see now i only need one output from this particular lnb to the switch is this why its not working as i have both outputs on the lnb connected to the switch.
