I've got a Vip211 running on a T55 Torrodial. Obviously I'd like to get 110, 119 and 129 as I'm in the northwest. Can't seem to pull all 3 at once. Here is what I've tried:

1- SW21 switch - Can get any 2 of the sats but since it's a 2x1 that's all you can do.
2- DP34 switch - Tried hooking all 3 independantly and also tried hooking using the SW21 into one of the ports. No luck. Only seems to see one LNB. I'm not totally convinced the switch is good either. I've had it for quite awhile and not sure where the heck it came from.
3- Spaun 411 Diseqc 4x1 - the dish scan shows it to be a diseqc switch but again only shows one sat.

I've been looking at the DPP33. Would this work or does someone have a better suggestion.

Thanks!

I have a SW64 with 110,119 legacy quad and 129 side dish on a vip211. It should be possible to run a 4 sat configuration with the sw21 on a output. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/97726-four-satellite-connection-sw64-sw21-switches.html
