Help with adding another receiver...

[dbinaz]

I have a Dish 1000. 2 runs going to my structured wiring can from it feeding 2 dual tuner receivers. I want to add another single tuner HD receiver. How do I go about this? Another run from dish or can I use a DP34/44 in my can?

Thanks,

Derek

You will need a DPP44 switch to feed 3 receivers. Run 3 (119, 110, 129) cables from the dishes to the switch and then from the switch feed the 3 receivers.

So are you saying I am currently not receiving all those sats right now cause I only have 2 lines run from the dish? Or the built-in switch in the dish is taking care of that right now?

The DPP Twin has a satellite input and the switch is built in. So with a DPP Twin you can have 3 satellite locations and feed a dual or single tuner with one cable.
