Adding 300 dish to Super dish

[Musky boy]

Current setup:

1 super dish (reading 105, 110 and 119 sats), Three cables from Super dish to DP 34, Two outputs from DP 34 going into 2 301 receivers.

What I want to do:

Add a 300 dish to pick up 61.5 sat (CBSHD and Voom) and change one of my 301 receivers to an 811.

Question:

Is there anyway to configure the system using a legacy lnb and legacy sw21 switch? If I have to use a Dish pro lnb and Dish pro 21, where do I connect the DP 21 in at? (ie. before the DP 34 or after the DP 34 going only to the 811 receiver)

I am new to this board, so please be gentle!! Thanks.

Add 61.5 to superdish

You will need a dp dual lnb and a dish 300 or 500 and a dp 21 switch/ Combine the output of the sw 34 output and the dp dual with the dp 21 switch that goues to your 811. connect port 1 of dp 21 to the sw 34 and port 2 of the dp 21 to the 61.5 dish.

Is the reason that I need to used Dish pro equipment because even though the receivers will work with Legacy, they can not work with Legacy and Dish pro at the same time?

You can NOT mix Legacy and DishPro outdoor equipment.

And Dodge misstated the switch type. There is NO such thing as a E* SW34. Never was, never will be. It is a DP34.

You can also use a DP 44 switch that way if you wanted to add more HD receivers later it will be easier.

If you order the 811 and voom channels, have 105 for your Must carry locals Dish will install the DPP44 and the 61.5 dish so you wont have to worry about anything.

Sigh. He means a DPP44.
