Help. Need to add more receivers

[cowhead68]

I am hooked up with dish and have a dpp44. I have 6 receivers hooked up as of now and want to hook up three more. What do I need to do? I think I need to get another dpp44. Is that right? Also how do I go about hooking it up? Is there a photo that has a diagram to look at on this site?

Thanks Frank

Yes, you need a DPP44 switch to add more receivers. Take a look at this PDF document page 17.

power inverter

Why do you use only one power inverter for each switch. Seem like you would need one for each port. Also thanks for the help and the link to dp plus. Frank

Port 1 of each switch is the power input. Other ports do not power the switch.

Account is limited to 6 receivers, so you'll need to ask Dish to grant an exception.

The DPP44 has outputs for 4 receivers. How are receivers 5 & 6 connected?

How many satellites are being viewed? Which receivers will you have? For 9 receivers you would need to trunk 3 DPP44 switches. You may be able to use a cheaper DP34 trunked to the DPP44 for 3 satellites to the single-tuner receivers.

Perhaps you mean 6 tuners? The DPP44 should only be able to run 4 single tuner satellite receivers or 4 dual tuner receivers which would be 8 tuners. I also dont see how you could have 6 individual receivers hooked up this way.
