DPP and Antenna Diplexer?

[GaryPen]

Can I use a diplexer to combine DPP and Antenna signals from the dish to the receiver? Will it work if I am also using a DPP Separator?

I would like to use one cable to feed both sat tuners and the antenna input on a 612/622/722.

Thanks.

Yes, and yes.

Thank you kind sir. I thought I once read, way back in the early DPP days that diplexers were a non-no with the "new" Dish system.

The only requirement is if you use a DPP44 switch. You will need a blue holland diplexer rated 2Amps for the power supply on port 1. You can still use regular diplexers on port 2, 3, and 4. If you use a DPP Lnb then this doesn't apply.

Thanks! I'll just use the Holland diplexers, regardless. That's what DishStore sells, anyway.

There's a red Holland diplexer and a blue one. You want to use the blue one if you want to diplex on port 1 of a DPP44. Holland diplexers are the best.

The one in the pic at DishStore is blue. Thanks!

Sorry, I hadn't checked. Yep that's the one you need.
