1000.4 with a DPP44?

[lakebum431]

I need to feed 4 receivers from an eastern arc setup. Is it possible to use a dpp 44 with the 1000.4 dish/lnb? I seem to remember an issue a couple years ago with the dpp twin and the dpp 44 but didn't know if it existed on the 1000.4.

I used the 1000.2 lnb and a DPP44 for many years without problems. The lnb for the 1000.4 is basically the same as the 1000.2 (DPP).

Excellent. So I guess the dpp 44 just shuts off the internal switch in the 1000.2/.4?

Correct. The internal switch is disabled when you connect it to the DPP44 switch.

Make it know that you need 1 line for every satellite you are wanting access to. If you want all 3 sats, you will need 3 lines from the LNB to the 44sw.

Yep I got that part, thanks. Just wanted to make sure I didn't need to rig up some do duals.
