I am thinking of changing my current all DP34 setup:

I have a Dish 500 and two Dish 300.

The 500 has DPP Twin LNB The Dish 300 has DP LNBs

Two RG6 cables go from the DPP Twin to Input Ports 1 & 2 on the DPP44.

One RG6 from each of the Dish 300 goes to Input Port 3 (129) and one RG 6 goes Input Port 4 (TBD).

Trunk 1 from the DPP44 goes to Input 1 of the DP34
Trunk 2 from the DPP44 goes to Input 2 of the DP34
Trunk 3 from the DPP44 goes to Input 3 of the DP34

Will this work going from a DPP44 to a DP34?

As long as you have DP Dual or Single Lnbs on the D300, yes it should work.
 
They are DishPro Twin's actually on the 300s (actually the dish is a Dish 500 when I rechecked the LNBs) ... no dual's handy!!!
 
It would be easier if you told us what you goal was. At this point, it sounds like you're trying to make a sculpture out of old parts with some new parts thrown in for anachronism.

The additional DP Twins will likely make the DPP44 quite unhappy.

Chaining the DP34 to the DPP44 will likely fail also.

As a fellow Left Coaster, I can't recommend going after Echostar 5 with a Dish300.
 
The DP34 can't be used with a DPP Twin (field results vary) though I don't see a problem with trunking it off the DPP44 other than missing the possible future 4th sat.

What receivers are you running?

I have had a DPP Twin running into two DP34s (trunked) for over two years with not a single issue. The IRDs are 2 x 301, 2 x 311 and 1 x 211.

I am looking at adding 61.5 (instead of 129) and possibly a fourth bird. I used to have 110, 119 & 129.
