right now i have a 1000.2 dish i have two cables coming from my dish to the inside but i dont want to have to run another cable from the dish to set up another receiver but i have a dp44 i could use is it possible that i connect just one cable to the switch so i can add another outlet from the dp44 making three outlets or do i have to connect both cables that are coming from the dish for this to work
can i do this?

Jeez, Buzzdar, where is the punctuation, like periods????
Your 1000.2 has a built in switch that can handle up to 3 cables or receivers. You must have at least one cable to each receiver. It doesn't sound like you need a DP44 at all.

No, the cable to each receiver has to go directly to the dish, you can't use a switch like it was a splitter.
you can use a DPP44 switch but the issue is you need 3 lines from the LNB...one for each orbital slot (110/119/129)
2 lines from the LNB will only get you 2 sats..assuming its 110 & 119

I added some clarification...was typing then a customer came to the bait shop and I didnt know I hit "post" 
The 1000.2 can feed at most 3 duo receivers. If you plug all 3 lines into a DPP44, then you can feed 4 duo receivers, and cascade another DPP44 off the first and feed 4 more, and so forth.
The problem is that his dish is not next to the house and he only has 2 cables coming from the dish to the house. He wanted to use the DP44 at the house and he can't get all of his LNBs that way.
