Here's the question. If I purchased a DPP 44 switch and a separator, can I use a single run to support the 811 and 508 attached to my HDTV? Currently I have two runs, but I am moving to a new home and would prefer the single run. That and the 921 is still to expensive - this configuration works for me.

I think the separator only works for dual tuner receivers
522
721
921

it won't work because the separator is not a splitter. it isolates the high / low frequency. what that means is that it breaks apart the bandstacked frequency and one output sends 950-1450 and the other sends 1650-2150. then the receiver handles the rest as far as operating both tuners / tv's

Frank gave a good explanation - only a dual tuner receiver can control a DP Separator.
