I currently have a 6 room setup (2 hoppers 4 Joeys). I'm wanting to add 5 more rooms, 3 for my home bar and 2 for my basement bedrooms. I bought a second duo node and DPP44 on flebay along with a new hopper w/sling and a joey, going to wait a few weeks to add the last 3.

What would be a good wiring diagram?
 
I believe you would need a solo node, not a duo. Im not sure if it still has issues, but it use to not work when you had a second duo node.

Here ya go; only alteration you should need to do, is use a splitter w/more ports where the Jo's connect to.
You can also use a DPP44 switch in place of the DPP33, since they are no longer made & are very hard to find.

Since there are people on here w/4 Ho's on the same dish, I can't imagine why the DuoNode won't work. (I tried to find such a diagram, but all the links in the old posts I found, are broken)

The only Flaw I see in this Diagram is the DPP33.
I know it "works", But if actually read the DPP33 specs, it claims its not compatible with DPP44 or Pro Plus LNBs.
With that in mind, Most people use DPP44.

4 would need 2 duos. 3 would need one of each

Here is my home wiring diagram for three HWSs, one Joey 1, and two WJs if it helps you out any. I use to have four HWSs but reduced down to three when son moved out.

Thanks, I did it all myself with help from members of this SatGuys forum and a local DISH retailer installed the 1000+ dish. My head-end board will need lots of work when the new DPH42 switch comes out and I swap to a Hopper 3 system.
