Help with installation

[changomirage]

Hello . I own two Dish 500 dishes and a DVR-625, and the dishes are connected with SW21 switches. I want to install a Solo 311 receiver but I have doubts about the wiring connections in the dishes. Please evaluate the attachment included in this threat and post any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

What LNBs are you using?

There are 2 better possibilities:

1. Get a Dish Pro Plus(DPP) Twin LNB, then all you would need is one line of coax to each receiver and a DPP separator for the 625.

2. Use 2 DP Single or Dual LNBs with one line from each LNB going to a DPP 33 switch, then running one line of coax to each receiver and using a DPP separator on the 625 receiver.

Took the time to draw out some examples.

The middle setup should work. The right side setup will fail when the two receivers want a different polarity from the same satellite.
