Dish 322 Hookup ??

[nl7nc]

Hi:

I currently have a DishPro 500 system with dual LNBF and two DP301 receivers. The system was installed ~ 2 years ago. I use an outdoor antenna for local TV. I recently picked up a new DP322 dual receiver and want to use it to replace one of the existing DP301's to allow hookup of a third TV in a bedroom.

What is the easiest way to get the second SAT connection for the Dish 322 ? Can I use a splitter from the existing single LNBF connection ? Can I use a switch ? Should I get a DishPro Plus dual LNBF and separator ? If I get a new LNBF, can it be used with my existing dish and mount ?

Thanks !

Well you cant just split a incoming signal. So you will need to either get a switch or quad lnb and run a 2nd line to the 322 or use the DPP LNB with a separator.

thiggin2 is correct, what he's describing is called a DPP Twin.
