Successful 5 sat hookup

148 doesnt exist anymore

hmm come to think of it, even with a sat in space 148, I'm still sitting on the top of the world

Haha good point

My 61.5 sat position is only going to my 612 HD DVR and not to my 2-211's...so if I wanted them to go there I believe I'd have to get a dp34 switch(with only one line ran from the dp dual 61.5 loc) and run the 4 outputs to sat 1 inputs of each of the 4 dp21 switches, then with a line coming down from each port of the 44 to the 2nd port of the dp21(phew). I don't know if that's possible for the recvr to recognize a DPP44, DP34 and a DP21 as well as 5 sat locations on top of it all.

Hmmm, come to think of it...would anyone like to see if that's possible?

I tried that combo and didn't have any luck. What you can do is use a DP-compatible splitter (3GHz, voltage block on one side) on each output of the dual, so you have four lines for the four DP21s.

Really? I would think the splitter would loose signal in the split because the LNB is not a plus lnb...the only other option I can think of is put up another 61.5 dish.
