You either have to Buy, A DPP44 and use it right with the setup you have right now. ,
Or you can Buy a DP33, But the 33 needs a Dish "Pro LNB setup","" It won't work with the Pro Plus LNB"".

That allow 3 receiver Hookups,and still allows a single wire to each of your receivers.
You can use a your DP34, But you have to run 2 Wires for Each DVR and use a DP Twin or Duad LNB .

on the dpptwin right now there are 3 wires 1 going to the 722 and 1 going to the 301 and the 3rd wire goes to the 61.5 sat i would guess to use the dp34 i would connect the 61,5 sat to the dp34 sat in now on the dpptwin witch input would i use to get the 110.119 signal to the dp34 switch 1,2 or lnb?
Yes the 61.5 will plug into the DP34 instead of the DPP LNB
You have to Run a wire from Both of the Plugs on your DPP LNB. The 2 Plugs that are together .

Every port on that DP 34 should be Filled, when your done. Except the 3 Plugs on the right. If not your system will not function properly
110 119 go to 1 and 2 " 2 wires"
and 61.5 goes to LNB

Yes Exactly. :upso your saying that there should be 2 wires from the dpp twin ports 1 and 2 and 1 from the single lnb?
Then you need to run 2 wires from the DP 34 to your 722 ,Take off the seperator,and run the 2 wires direct. You still need 2 wires even if your only using the 722 in one room.
The run another wire from your DP34 to the 301
do the same for the second 301.

You will also have to replace the dpp tw with a dp twin or two dp duals/singles going to the dp 34sw. If you don't you will experience problems. Good luck.
I would have just bought a DPP44 switch and been done. Yes they can be Pricey, But I I've seen then on Ebay for less then $100, and they are well worth it since you can keep your Single wire and has room for 4 DVRs

im confused about one thing when dn setup the systum they only ran one cable to the 722 and one to the 311 what does the 722 need the other cable for?
722 is a dual tuner receiver and needs both inputs connected. With Dish Pro, you run two coax lines to the receiver, with Dish Pro Plus, you only need one coax run to a DPP Separator which feeds both tuners. The DPP Separator will not work with Dish Pro equipment.
Because its a dual tuner receiver. Your removing DPP setup with a DP setup. Its no longer a single wire system when using a DP34.
You need a DPP44
Or a DP33 with a DishPro Twin or Quad LNB to keep it a single wire setup.
