Question about DP Quad, DP34 Switch & Dish 721 Installations

[dinodish]

I have DP Quad going into a DP34 Switch. I have heard where either feeds 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 from DP Quad must be connected directly to Dish 721. That feeds from DP34 Switch attached to Dish 721 will cause problems. Is this true?

Thanks

Should not be any problems. Are you having problems?? Why a Quad into a 34 switch??

No, I don’t have any problems yet, I’m just getting ready to install. I didn’t think there would be any problems with this set up, just wanted to make sure. I’m using the DP Quad and DP34 Switch for multi-receiver set up.

It appears that the important thing to do with the Quad-to-DPx4 switch is to use one odd and one even numbered port. The Quad defaults to 119 on odd and 110 on even ports. So, 1 & 2, 3 & 4, or even 1 & 4, 2 & 3 should work. Most convienent for cabling (dual RG-6) is probably 1 & 2 or 3 & 4.
