I just ordered a DP34 switch to hook up my 811 and Vip211. I currently have a DP21. There is one cable runnning from my Dish 500 to the DP 21, yet the picture of the DP34 shows 2 wires running from the Dish 500. Do I need two wires or is one enough.
He must have a DP twin because in the original post he said it was hooked to a DP21 switch. A DPP twin won't work with a DP21 or a DP34 switch.mdonnelly said:Jerryez, if your twin is a DPP twin, and you only have the two receivers, you won't need another switch. You can run one wire to each receiver directly from the DPP Twin. The 61.5 coax goes to the input port on the DPP Twin. And if it's not a DPP, they still sell for about the cost of the DP34 switch.
Don't know about the DP21, but the DPP Twin definitely does work with the DP34 switch.BrettTRay said:He must have a DP twin because in the original post he said it was hooked to a DP21 switch. A DPP twin won't work with a DP21 or a DP34 switch.

Really?BrettTRay said:I hate to be the bearer of bad news but a DPP twin will not work with a DP34 switch.
If that's what they mean, then that's what they should say.BFG said:I don't really think people were saying a DPP Twin wouldn't work per say. but that its use in that application is wasteful and pointless, because its function becomes that of a regular twin. Anyways dish says not to use a dpptwin with a switch for that reason and probably others, the poster below me just mention that it ended up frying the dp34
