ok i have 2 dual tuners receivers,hooked up and working but i want to add an addition ird,,can this be done with a dp 34 i was told it could,,please let me know if you need any more info,,,thanks
Thanks for the info, although not using them, I do have a couple of diplexers in my SUV and a couple more in the garage, just in case. Came from a retailer, but I don't think they have Dish logo on them.DPD2 is a diplexer. A quick search can give you the specifics of it's function. It basically either combines or separates your TV#2 and incoming satellite signals; depending on how and where it's used. In your case, I would figure you have 4 of them in your home (2 for each receiver).
basically you will just connect a line from each lnb on the dish into the inputs on the DPP44. Then connect one wire from each reciever to the outputs on the switch. Depending on which Dish you have (Dish500 or Dish1000), will determine how many of the inputs you will use.
And just so ya know, the reason the DP34 is not the way to go, is because it does not support the ability to run 1 wire to the dual tuner recievers. If you went with the DP34 then you would have to run a 2nd wire to each dual tuner, and then cascade another switch (either another DP34 or DP21) to the third ird.
Yes, threads can be hi-jacked, I was trying to analyze your system to ensure that others were giving you correct info; and not that I thought they would give you incorrect info, but that they may have misunderstood your limited amount of supplied info.thanks for all the info,,i appreciate all the help and knowledge you have but just to make sure,,can i use a sw44,,,i have seen them for sale as well,,and ohh is there a such thing as hijacking a thread????

Since you have a DP Separator, you either have a DPP44 switch installed, a DPP Twin installed on either a Dish 500 or a Dish 1000 without any external switches, or possibly using a Dish 1000.2.
You were given the correct info for the second possibility.![]()
