I want five rooms total with five different receivers. Is there any way you can split the signal once you pass the sw44, so that I can use different outlets in a room. Or do you have to have seperate lines for each outlet. I will only use one receiver in each room. I just want the capability to move my receivers around the room. I also want three HD receivers in the house. Thanks!!
5 receiver hookup using DDP44

That's all well and good. But why on earth would one wnat to go thru all that ....I believe in keeping it simple....Look the more equip you use the more stuff that can go wrong..I do my installs with the idea in mind that this is my only visit to that customer..ever.....plus I like clean, simple installs that generate as few questions from the customer as possible....Imagine what you described would look like attached to the side of YOUR house.....Mny times I see in this business, techs doing jobs for the TECH instead of the CUSTOMERSimpleSimon said:
Look, not trying start anything here...you have your logic and I have mine.....
Oh yeah, I never said that what you describbed couldn't be done.
i suggested the DPP 44 as matter of clarity......
Ok..but a little terminology update..The device in line that serves your 625(if you have a 622 you must know somebody very high up the foodchain at DISH) is a "seperator"patron1 said:
The device that powers up the DPP44 is called an "inserter".....
You mean like this?dishcomm said:
Anyway, my method is a LOT less expensive - that's it's advantage.Less expensive sure.....I digress to my earlier statement.....Besides, I'm not concerend about the expense. The customer is paying for the switch or the additional labor for your config....i like neat and clean...i tell each customer that I would not put something on someone elses home that I would not do to my own....Trust me,If a tech came to my house with your idea, I would have to politely decline....SimpleSimon said:You mean like this?
Look, niot trying to start a pissing contest with you here..This is differnce in technique that 's all.......
To each their own - I offer both options, and the advantages & disadvantages of each. Customer picks what they want, and they are right. Most recent situation like that was a D1000 converted to a DP34/DP21 to drive the 625, 811, and pair of 311s. The DP21 is hooked to the trunking outputs of the DP34.dishcomm said:
Oh - and I tell the customers "I would not put something on someone elses home that I would not do to my own" too - just lke my pics, which don't show the THREE dishes up on the roofline.
on the surface, neither do I..But I live and work in the land of HOA's...Now I am well aware that HOA"s have no say in where I place a Dish BUT......Many customers are concerned anyway..i must install with their wishes in mind....SimpleSimon said:You mean like my neighbor's place?BTW, us mountain folk don't consider dishes unattractive.
90% of my jobs are Esthetics first, functionality second....Ahhh subrubia....
