He had another installer nearby with a 500+ dish and new lnbf's. But I guess he didn't know what to do with them, as he insisted on the duo node. I'm trying to get him back, but he didn't leave a number. I have contacted DIRT. Don't know if they can help. I want this today!
Called 800#. Technician is going to give me a call back. Hope I can get him back out here. He had access to the above equipment, so hopefully we can get this taken care of. Thanks nismo!
So you know, a 118 LNB wired to the input of a DPP LNB does work with the Hopper, that's my setup. Shows Dbnd 118 port 4 in check switch & system info.
Installer is probably pissed at me. Hasn't called back. I was on the phone with his dispatch (not on hold) when they called him on the radio and told him to call me.
I'm very upset. Now Wednesday will come around, my wife will be here by herself with two boys (3 and 1.5) and I bet he still won't know what to do.
edit: Ok, called Dish and rescheduled to Friday, when I'll be off work. Really upset about this, but at least this way if there are other problems, I'll have the weekend to figure them out.

If he's getting a 500 plus with the dpp lnb, they would connect the 129 LNB to the input of the dpp LNB not the 118 sat.

Update:
Installer was here this morning. Brought a 500+ LNB and used my old 129 LNB. Wired that one into 500+. Two wires to single node, two wires inside house. Removed DPP44. Used all existing wiring. My house is Hopping now! I'm glad they sent an installer that knew what he was doing this time!

Obviously you want some one else besides THAT installer there. He obviously has no real knowledge to do the job, or he is lazy and just doesnt want to do it. Either way, if others are telling you yea a 44 switch will work without a dual node and only need a single he doesnt want to do the job. Which will only mean a crappy install anyways. I would definitely have some ine else in to so it.
Sorry this has happened to you.
A DPP 44 will work with the system, no dual node necessarry, the only issue, the 44 switch requires a dedicated line for the power inserter. The new dpp 500plus set up requires no switch so there for makes the system much more stream line.
You know now that I think of it maybe it would be better to have the new lnb instead of using the switch.
