I currently have the 110,119, 121(super dish) and 148 connected to a DP 44 switch. Now can you get the 61.5 there also? Without removing 1 of those sat.? Now if I get the dish 500 there will be only one line coming through that and 1 line from the 148 and 1 line from the 121. So for the 4th line(DP 44) can I use the 61.5? Will that work?
 
DP switches REQUIRE 1 line from EACH location. SO, if you were to use a D500 and a DP Twin, you still HAVE to hook BOTH lines from the DP Twin to the DP+44. The DP+44(as well as the DP34) line locks the Twin to 1 location per line. WHen using a DPTwin for 1 location ala 61.5, it only sees the port with the signal. Read through Mike's thread for more info.
 
Couldnt you just use a DPPtwin plugged in to the dpp44 for 119/110, a DP(anything) pluged in to the INPUT on the DPPtwin, a 148 plugged in to the DPP44 and the 121 plugged in to the 4th input on the 44?

Since the DP+44 line locks the incoming signal for 1 location, then no.
 
This s a job for the magic cascading switch trick. :rolleyes:

You need a DP21 for each receiver that needs 61.5 (or 148 if that's fewer). Now, for the LNB. a DP Single or Dual for one, DP Dual for two, add DP Splitter(s) (not a DPP Separator) for 3 or 4.
