Switch options for Dish 1000 plus and one ViP622

[kwindrem]

I'm trying to figure out what switches will work with a Dish 1000 plus dish and a ViP622 dual tuner receiver. I've just got the one receiver so I really don't need a multi-output switch.

I don't really need the 118 satellite, just 110, 119 and 129.

The DPP44 is expensive but does support dual tuners via a single coax.

The DP34 is not as expensive but I'd need to run a second coax.

I'm looking at the new DPP33 as a possible solution.

Then I stumbled across DISEqC 2.0 4x1 switches for LOTS LESS. I'm wondering if these will work. The switch would need to support the DishPro Plus band stacking.

It would likely be cheaper to get a 1000.2 dish if you don't need the 118.7... it will support 3 DPP receivers.

You don't need a switch at all. Just run two coax lines from the dish to the two receiver inputs, or run just one coax line from the dish to a Dish Network separtor, and then from the separator to the two receiver inputs.

That won't work. 1000+ dish needs a switch.

My bad. I didn't read the post carefully enough!

You could use a DP34 switch and run 2 cables to the 622, leaving the 118.7 cable unconnected.
