Is this possible?

ok I was wondering if you could take to 2 sat. an point then at say 61.5 and at 129 but instead of using a dpp44 switch just use the dpp twin. As long as you use a dp21 switch could that work? SEE PIC if you are confused (srry about small pic just zoom in). Now I know you can hook up 5 sat locations w/ a dp21 and a dpp44 this is where I got the Idea from.

I dont think that will work.

The DP44 has 4 inputs....the DPP has only 3 inputs (110, 119, wing)

Going by your pic diagram I would say no because you have the 500 going into the out port on the switch, the 61.5 going to port 1 and the 129 going to port 2. To do what your wanting to do you would need 2 sw21 and a little luck but I dont think it would work even then.

hell I might just throw another dish up on top of my house and test it. I wouldnt be losing that much money if it doesnt work. Then if it does work then I just figured out a new way of doing installs.

 

[Van]

Save your money for that tv you were wanting so bad in one of your other post's. Later when you have extra money then go for your test.

well what would it be to me 20 bucks max. I have 3 sats. in my closet, 2 more lnbs, plus what I have on top of my house. I might be able to get a local dealer to let me borrow one . If anyone is lookin for a c-band dish though here ya go... http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ele/112923053.html

I would say no. I would think that the DPP input doesn't have switching capabilities to pick between the 61.5 or the 129 inputs on the DP21. It would be interesting to see what would happen if someone tried it.

Pushing the envelope...

 

[SimpleSimon]

A DP21 is not compatible with a DPP-Twin - on either the input OR output side.

 

[Van]

$20 seems to be a lot to you shag, specialy since your 16 and have what at most times apears to be very limited funds. But as has been pointed out your idea wont work so your left with the current set up thats known to work and isnt cheap for you.

 

[goaliebob99]

Theretically yes.. but then again it might not... I will have to try it also

 

[RandallA]

Simon is right, it will not work with the DP21 and the DPP Twin. This is from the
TECHNICAL INFORMATION BULLETIN

Subject: DISH Pro Plus Twin LNBF Installation Information & Special Considerations

"The DP Plus Twin may be connected to a DP Plus 44 switch, but not to DP21 switches or DP34 switches."

 

[BobaBird]

Won't work. How would each of the connected receivers be able to see a different satellite on the DPP Twin's input port at the same time?
