New install need 3rd receiver

[dummy85]

I currently have one dish with 2 ports out and one port in. 2 receivers running 4 rooms. the installer used diplexers on the outside with separators on the backs of both receivers. i also have a dish 311 that i want to hook up. the room is already wired but i cant figure out where i would "splice" into the current lines on the outside. What can I do?

sounds like you have a DPP twin that will not work without changing your LNB and switch configuration

DPP Twin, that's correct. why did they set it up that way knowing i was hooking up a 3rd receiver?

Probably his work order called for that type of install and he didn't want to modify it.

You will need 2 new lnbs DP singles. they will go right on to the same bracket.

and a DPP 33 switch.

If I were you, I would call Dish and generate a Trouble Call for an incomplete install.

OK, Thanks for the help

It all depends on whether the 311 was on the original work order.
