Can I use a DP 34 to combine the signals from a dish 500 and a single dish set up for 77? Distance is too great to run the 77 dish to the 500. However both are close enough to my receiver if I can use the DP 34. Will it work? I have a VIP 211K receiver.

you can use a DP34 switch (or a DPP44+ or DPP33) to run any of Dish's orbial slots through it.
But can I ask why 77? If you have Clarksburg, WV loclas they are on 129W (I guess you are a "mover"

are you trying to get HD then?
77W has no HD just Spanish and some local markets. 72 & 61.5 have the HD

Nope not after HD. Just some locals. My 77 dish setup works great. Good signal and the locals are there that I was looking for. I just wasn't sure about the switch. Scubasteve said to use a DP and not a DPP. Is that what I need to do?
You would need a DishPro Twin for the 110/119
You cant hook a DishProPlus LNB into the DP34 switch

Iceberg, I don't know much as you can probably tell. If I change to a DP twin, will I need to run two cables from the twin to the DP34? And if I find out the distance is not too great can I run the 77 thru a DP Plus instead? I currently have the DP Plus on my 500 dish.
If you have fewer than 3 receivers, you can dispense with the switch and simply run your dual into your DPP twin and you're done.
