Mad Scientist Hooks up 5 Satellite Locations!!!!

with shall we say, at least a triple-digit post count.

I don't have a triple digit post count...........................

Not over here anyway.

Plus, you're not the one claiming this impossible dream can work.

 

[ajohnson]

ack, maybe I was thinking of the sw44

 

[SimpleSimon]

Could be AJ. And of course you know that's for Legacy only.

 

[larrystotler]

Still would not do it. The SW44 needs feed from 2 sats, 13 & 18 V feeds. If you hook up 2 SW21s, you would get only the 13 or 18 volt feed IF the switch was even seen......

True, but I had that oddball 5 dish on legacy setup that you said "was a stupid idea anyway".....................

2 DPP44 + DPP21 for 5 satellites

Check this site for the information about 5 satellites using two DPP44 + 1 DPP21.

Unh. You're not really using 2 DPP44's in that configuration, but thanks for trying.

The cascade outputs of a DP switch are simply "copies" of the corresponding LNBF inputs.

In some ways you can think of it as the output of a DP Splitter.

I know this is an old thread but let me throw a little bit of fat on the griddle.
Last week I was doing a service call on a 322 system connected to a dpptwin, I went to the check switch and noticed the hit or miss 110 ghost on tuner one thats only supposed to happen on new out of box units hooked to a dp44 switch. Well I replaced an unrated wall plate barrel and hooked the coax back up, upon running the check switch it ran 1 of 14 on tuner one and 1 of 3 on tuner two. I gave up on waiting to see the outcome so I have no idea what kind of configuration it would give out and did a front panel reset and did the nifty trick of flipping the seperator to do a 1 - 2 / 2-1 to clear out the ghos issue. So from reading what you said at the beginning about what I believe was 12 orbital slots it would seem that E has hidden configuration possibilities for even more, I wish that I had been more patient and waited to see what it would have said.

How many do you count?

While some of you may have seen this before, I suspect it will make one or two Mad Scientists want to cry, especially Iceberg!

Just google for the IMAGE "Antenne-toroidale"

Sorry I couldn't just post the image I have not made enought posts.

From a newbie just browsing.

seen it before. Considered getting one once, but you can't find reversed DishPro Lnb's, so it's worthless for more than 3 or 4 sats with Dish.
Great in Europe though, with all the birds above them.

BAH! One of those would never be at my house
The more dishes the better!

You can never use too many LNB's
