How many receivers will a Dish 1000 handle

[sprintcarcrazy]

I have a neighbor wanting to add a single tuner receiver to his setup. He has a 1000 with two dual tuner DVR's running now, both have seperators on them. Can I get anoth single tuner in the mix or will I have to add a DP44 ?

You'll need a DPP44 switch. The D1000 has a DPP Twin that can feed 2 receivers (single or dual tuners).

You can technically run as many receivers as you want with the proper switches and amplifiers.

Best thing to do is look into the Dish1000.2, since it will support up to 3 receivers either single tuner or Dual Tuner.

You can use a DP twin and a DP dual or three DP duals and connect that into a DP-34 switch which is MUCH cheaper than getting a DPP-44 switch and get four outputs on the switch which is cascadable to three total switches.

He'll need two DP34s to feed 5 tuners. (2 dual tuners and a single tuner). I think the cheapest way is what Claude recommended, a D1000.2 can feed 3 DPP receivers. Duh, I have one and didn't think of it.

Randall,

Are you doing some experimental work using the 1000.2 DPP Triple LNB hooked up to your DPP44+DP34 setup, or are you using the 1000.2 W Bracket with duals?

Oh no, no experiments that's what I'm using right now. 1000.2 DPP Triple LNB to DPP44 to DP34 to feed 5 receivers. I was gonna try the W bracket to put back my DP Twin and DP Dual but figure it will give me the same results.
