Will this LNB work with Two Wally's

[scsttrooper]

Will this LNB allow me hook up two Wally's? If so will I need anything else or just a coax from each Wally to a port on the LNB?

Yes it will work and yes one wire each from the LNB to the Wally.

Ok... So it doesn't work. The receiver plugged into port 1 makes it to the activation screen but the receiver on port two does not. The second receiver has the message that you see in the attached picture. I believe that this is the wrong LNB for two wallys.

I'm sorry I didn't realize that was a hybrid LNB in your previous picture. Apparently Wally's won't work with the separate ports of a Hybrid LNB so you either have to use a DishProPlus LNB for 2 lines to the LNB or a Dish Channel Stack Splitter so both Wally's can be use port #1.

What is a stackable splitter and are they commonly avaliable?

The ones that say for the DPH42 are what you want.

I know it's not correct, but I've successfully used a DirecTV swm splitter for two wallys off port one of a hybrid ea lnb in an apartment. For whatever reason, the office I work out of doesn't stock the dish approved splitters yet. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Here is another LNB that I already have. Would it work without the "splitter"?

Yes, tha's a DishProPlus LNB and it will work with 2 lines directly to it.

That's good to know and makes total sense. I think the specs are almost identical.

There was a certain, ummmmm Retailer (Not a good one) here in the recent past that would setup Hoppers when replacing DTV by putting the Hopper on the port that goes to their power inserter and the Joeys on the other ports, running 1 line off of a DPP lnb and it would work for quite a while. All the tuners weren't there, but it still worked as long as only 1 or 2 TV's were on

I don't know how people sleep at night doing that kind of crap.

Luckily Dish banned them form doing installs, but for a year, it was a nightmare following them

Yikes. And I felt bad using that swim splitter.
