Superdish 121 + Dish Pro Plus

[clonedbhandar]

Is it possible to have a superdish 121 and have dish pro plus....currently I have a DP34 switch and my 721 receiver takes up two of my ports...I wanted to add a fourth receiver but don't want to lose my 721. How would I go about doing this? i know I will have to get a DPP44, but what about the DPP LNBs for 110, 119, and 121...are those required?

The LNBs don't look like the regular LNBs that are used....

Also I only have the superdish...so only three cables coming out...what would i do for the 4th cable.

Thanks

2nd DP34 or a DPP44. The 2nd DP34 will give you 4 more additional outlets. Swapping out the DP34 for a DPP44 will give you 2 additional outlets depending on the receivers that you may add and the ability to add another sat location to your system.

Use the same lnb's, just replace the DP-34 with a DPP-44.
You can then use a DPP Seperator to run only 1 line to the 721.

Thanks for the replies..Also, Do I need to have 3 inputs going in?

 

[Mr Tony]

yes
110
119
121

those are the 3 inputs (each one comes from its respective LNB)

What about the 4th one? I know the DPP44 requires 4, do I need to have 4

 

[Mr Tony]

nope. up to 4

heck, Ive seen people only use 110 & 119 to a DP44

some people have used the DPP44 with only 110/119 so they can use the separator to run one line from the switch, hook up the separator and use it for a dual tuner (so they only need one line)

Remember that the bird order is sometimes important, so avoid possible issues by connecting the 119 feed to input port #1, 110 to #2. This applies to the DP34 also.

Received my DPP44 switch today, hooked it up (119 - #1, 110 - #2, and 121 -#4) and took it to my 721, used the splitter and worked like a charm.

Thanks for all the help
