DPP Twin with DP Dual setup?

[DishBacker]

Has anyone successfully utilized a DPP Twin LNBF with a DP Single/Dual connected to the Sat In input within the DPP Twin LNBF to support either 61.5/148?

I got a DPP Twin for my 921 / 501 setup a couple of weeks ago and installed it without a hitch, now I'm looking to add a second dish to look at 148 and finally get CBS-HD from a second source (can already get it from OTA, but it never hurts since only 1 OTA can be used at a time).

Since DFW has a local still on 148, I can get the free install, but just wanted to see if anyone else has luck with this setup before I go through the install process and/or pain that might come with it.

Well, I haven't actually done it yet, but your proposed configuration is EXACTLY 100% what the DPPlus Twin is designed to do.

Installed my 148 Dish today with a DishPro Dual LNB. Worked like a champ with my DPP Twin using the Sat In connection. On a side note, anyone in the DFW area currently utilizing the 148 bird? I peaked out my father in law's satellite strength tester, but I can only get about 85 Max when doing the point dish test. Has been a pretty crappy weather day, rain and all, so could have a little effect on it.

Also, calling dish to get the channels on that bird active, namely CBS-HD, sure is a pain. Took the lady a good 15 minutes to get it worked out.

Which receiver? 811 0-100 or 921 0-125?
I peaked my 148 to over 105 (921) on transponders 11 and 12. I got like 117 on tuner 1 for one of them, really hot. Not different on 110/119.
I am west of you so that should help me.
I couldn't help 110/119 -- near 100.

Now, OTA-wise, an outside antenna helped a lot. A 10 dB amp gave an additional 10 points except for one already over 120. My big problem is NBC (4/26 in Albuquerque) that fluctuates 20 points in mid-news.
