Swapping from Legacy to Dish Pro LNBF & Adding 82 degrees......

[Slartibartfarst]

I have just looked at a system in a small Hotel, with 48 x 3100 receivers, currently fed by a 60cm Dish with one LNBF aimed at 91 degrees. Two RG11 lines feeding 2 x 4 Way 3Ghz Splitters, then into 4 x 16 Way Rack Mounted Multiswitch's.

It works just great, no problems at all.

Now, they have just been shipped 48 x 6400 High Def Receivers and want 82 signals as well. Bad news is, there is NO WAY AT ALL to run any more lines. SO I am stuck with the 2 x RG11 lines.

I have the distribution of the HD Covered, just the signals from the 2 x LNBF's that I am not 100% sure of.

Any ideas how to achieve this, or is it impossible.?

I was thinking Dish Pro LNBF's, feeding 91 & 82 down their own RG11 but how do I combine these inside.? A DP34.?

All advice welcomed.

To be safe I'd use a DPP44 switch. I have heard DP34 switches are not the greatest expecially for Bell.

A DPP44 switch will give me 4 outlets. Cascading 3 deep, the Max I believe will give me 12, I am still short by 36 outlets.

Can the INPUTS to a DPP44 switch be split with 3Ghz Splitters.?

EDIT;

Nothing wrong with the DP34 switch's on Bell, it is the DPP33's that are problematic.
