I have 3 sats connected to a DP34 - 110,118,119 with the output going to a 211k. I also have a 722k connected to an EA dish receiving 72 and 61.5. Here's my question: Can I connect the output from the DP34 to the sat input on the EA setup to give me all 5 sats on my 722?

NO that sounds like a simple solution but it won't work
Is there a reason that a 1000+ won't work? You should already have a 500+ so all you need is LNB and bracket to convert the 500 to a 1000+.

Thanks boba, but here's my problem. Due to my extreme east/north location, 72.7 is very weak, especially on tp's which carry HBO, Showtime and Encore in HD, so I get a lot of signal loss even when there is heavy cloud. (77 is invisible, but I don't need it). I get a strong signal on 110,119,118 but I only have single DP LNB's. I have a dual DP LNB for 119/118 (I'm a big cricket fan) on a 24" dish and a single DP LNB for 110 on a dish 500. This setup gives me perfect results on my 211 but I'm missing a lot of HD - I can't get 129 because of trees. It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to get all 5 sats on both receivers. I can't understand why 72.7 should be so weak when the WA sats come in with very high signal.
I was thinking, since there is an opening for 110, 118 and 119 there is an opening, placing a second dish just for 129 may be doable.
To pick up three satellites you need a DPP twin and a DP single or a DP-34 switch with three separate dishes and DP single lnb's. To pickup four satellites you would need either a 1000.2 or 1000.4 that allows a fourth lnb to be attached unless you got two or more satellites from each arc then you would need to get the DPP-44 switch to have four satellites from any arc along with four DP single lnbs or two DP twin lnb's.
