Three Hopper 3's

I never said it didn’t.

I just don’t like Kangaroos.

Really? You sure spend a lot of time degrading them and like the Everready battery they just keep on hop, hop, hopping along. That's gotta get your goat!

Or what I did with 15 wallys the other day..View attachment 140438View attachment 140439

Just curious, why didnt you use just one 4:2 switch and channel stack splitters? Instead of the four 4:4 switches.

How about Wallabies? Do you like Wallabies?

You know someone with Channel stack splitters?

We've got 'em.

 

[charlesrshell]

We've got 'em.

When you have a chance, can you share a link on what channel splitters are, how to install them, etc?

[osumike]

Yeah, there's none around here. Would've loved to use them on that install though!

Just Google 'Dish channel stack splitters' and that will tell you more than I can here.

Basically they allow up to 8 Wally's on each port of a DPH42 or on a hybrid LNB.

Yes,we do. if you don't have channel stack splitters, you can use normal splitters as long as you put the power inserter between the splitter and the switch so no power passes through the splitters.

Wouldn't putting it before the splitters push power through the splitters?

'Normal splitters' don't generally have the frequency range necessary.

 

[JSheridan]

OK, tkz.

Hey Charles, when I Googled 'DISH channels stack splitters' about half way down the page it looks like your setup.

LOL, yep. That is my old red neck headend board when I had four HWSs and one Joey. Looks pretty busy.

No because the power goes towards the switch, not the receivers.

'Normal splitters' don't generally have the frequency range necessary.

The Holland ones that IHS techs carry are pretty much the same frequency. 5-2150 MHz and 4-2150 MHz
