DISH TV Network Diagrams for RVs

[TechWriter]

I just finished creating a number of networking diagrams intended for RV installs, but could use the gurus here to check them for accuracy.

Basically, the diagrams are house networks adapted to the RV world.

Nice Job!

Very nice job!!!

What would happen if you skipped the DPP 33 switch and connected the second Duo Node directly to the DPP44 switch, fpr a 4 Hopper setup?

Not possible. Duo Node requires three feeds from a switch, Solo Node requires two feeds from a switch. DPP44 only has 4 feeds, and the nodes cannot be placed behind a power inserter so port 1 can't be used for Hopper. So a single DPP44 can only support a single Duo Node.

You state "Currently DISH does not want VIP receivers (211..."

This is not quite correct. Dish is quite happy for a ViP211 series receiver to be in a Hopper system on the same account. They consider that this allows for tailgating, and indeed, even sell a Tailgater dish antenna for such purpose.

211 must be purchased. I have one and had no issue getting it activated.

When an external switch is used, the dish's internal switch is bypassed routing one orbital position to each output. The outputs of the DPP44 switch would each be an orbital position. The node expects to be able to select which orbital position shows up on each of it's "dish" ports.

This should be a sticky

4 Hopper RV Networks

Just added 2 more DISH networking diagrams on 4 Hopper networks . . .
