    DPP44 Switch

    I am looking to possibly add a Dish 500+ for my 110 / 118.7 / 119 satellites and leave my Dish 1000 dedicated to the 129 satellite......In searching for the DPP44 I have seen it listed with a power inserter. Some vendors show the DPP44 switch with no mention of a power inserter. My receiver is...

    Need Help With Dish Configuration

    I guess my best option is to let try and make arrangements with Dish to replace my 1000 with a 1000+........The satellite I was having the most difficult time receiving was the 129 satellite (HD programming)....... I am currently waiting on a gentleman to come and cut down a couple of trees...

    Need Help With Dish Configuration

    That would be ideal..........My only issue there is associated with cost......I can upgrade thru dish (which requires them taking the dish 1000 back) for about a 1/3 of what a dish 1000+ plus DPP44 costs........If your option will work I might have to consider..........

    I currently have such but I am really wanting the St Louis market.......I am assuming by your response that a DPP44 would need to be purchased as well? By installing the aforementioned dish / switch / and "moving" should allow for those channels to be viewed?????
