What is DPP?

[miguelaqui]

What is it? From reading, it seems to be a powered, with a power inserter.

It is a DP switch which uses DP lnbfs, or do they have to be DPPP lnbfs?

Legacy receivers seem to work with it and the signal can be separated for a DP receiver.

Sounds like a dream switch. Am I correct? How does it work?

Does it stack both odd and even transponders, just like the DP?

If it can be separated for the sat1 and sat2 for the DP receivers, then can it send the signal from 2 differents sats on one port?

I know there must be more info on this stuff on this forum. Thanks to all who can point me to it.

DPP stands for DishPro Plus. The DPP44 switch needs a power inserter, the DPP Twin does not.

DPP is a capability of a switch. Both DP and DPP switches require DP LNBs. There are no DPP LNBs (the DPP Twin is 2 LNBs with a built-in DPP switch).

Legacy receivers can be connected to a DPP switch without using the DP Adapter needed with regular DP switches.

It is pretty snazzy.

Regular DP switches send the stacked TPs from a single DP LNB. A DPP switch can select the TPs needed (not sure if it's just one or all the odds or evens) from any 2 connected LNBs, then stack one high and the other low.

That's the Plus part of what it does. If TV1 needs 119 and TV2 needs 110, the DPP switch selects the needed TP from each and stacks one high and one low for the DPP Separator to direct the signal to the proper sat input. This feature can only be used with DPP receivers which are the dual-tuner models. DPP can not be used to feed 2 different receivers from a single feed.

DP and DPP are also explained at the EKB DishPro Technology page.
