A DPP44 switch will also give you four outputs however requires the lnb(s) to be DPP twin, DP singles, DP duals, DP twin or a DP quad. Just like the DP34 it only requires two lines into the switch to get 82 and 91.
This switch just like the DPP twin allows you to use a DPP separator(s) for dual tuner receivers. Therefore it is possible to have 4 receivers regardless if they are dual tuner. Another advantage of DPP technology is that legacy receivers work as long as you have one DP or DPP compliant receiver hooked up.
This receiver requires a power adaptor to be hooked up on port one. Unfortunatly the DPP44 is the most expensive switch and are very rare to find in Canada for sale. It will cost you around $100 or more after shipping, duty etc.
This switch has four inputs from four different orbital locations if that matters to you.
Hi,
Are They not used for the Dish Pro LNBs for Bev and Dishnet? And isn't there as Difference between the two Models and which one is the Newest Model?What does the Newest Model do that the older one doesn't?Is there different Dish Pro LNBs or newer ones? Please let e know. Thank you in advance.

P.S. The two Models are 142350 and 121252
If anyone has more info on these two DPP44 switches or which one is newer Please let me know. Thank you.
The DPP44 is used on DP & DPP LNBF's.
They are used by Dish Network.
They are NOT used by Bell TV, they are NOT approved or supported.
I see no difference between them except the finish.
I have no idea which is newer.
DPP LNBF's are newer than DP LNBF's.
And by not supported he means by Bell TV, Bell TV tech support, Bell TV installers etc. The firmware on the receivers do support dp and dpp so they work with bell receivers.
I had a hard time to get a 2700 working with my DPP44 last week (had to run checkswitch multiple times to get both sats), although the 2700 worked flawless with a dp legacy adapter and a dp34.
You need to use the DPP switch because the DPP seperator wil not work with just a DP switch.
As for LNBs, if you are going to buy single LNB heads, there is no such thing as a DPP dual LNB only DP dual LNBs, but they will work just fine as long as they are going into a DPP44 switch. If you are going to buy a twin LNB head you can buy either a DP Twin or a DPP Twin as they both will work going into a DPP44 switch.
So in a quick summary you must have a DPP44 switch, but you can use any type of DP or DPP LNBs that are available as long as they are going to your DPP44 switch.
Actually you are wrong, there are DPP Twin LNB's, I have one on my dish and if I did not have the DPP44 switch I could run one cable to two dual tuner PVRS and use the DPP separator.
I would read QCK's post again, Altaman, he never says there is no such animal as a DPP Twin LNBF....... He does say there is no such thing as a DPP Dual, which is correct.
Yep, Altaman read it again my friend. I made sure my configuration & terminology were correct when I made that post, and I do actually state that he could buy a DP Twin or a DPP Twin where you are saying I am wrong.
Hi,
I apologize I might have lots of questions but im totally new to this. Presently I have 4 receivers 2 HD and 2 SD connected on SW44 switch.My dish has 4 coax cables running inside the apartment going to SW44
I am moving to my first 3 storey townhouse and is actually being built right now. I have 5 cables distributed inside the house.All cables meet at the basement unfinished area. The South West side of the house is at the back.
I would assume that line of sight can already be attained when dish is instlled on the wall anywhere in the exterior wall of the second floor area and upward to the tip of the roof. (I think its PVC coated exterior) . Cables migh run down directly to the basement exterior wall (because only half of the basement is buried underground) and a hole might be drilled on the wall to penetrate inside directly to the basement unfinished area. Total cable run maybe approx 15 meters times 4 (from dish to central switch).
My question is:
Will Bell provide installation of the 4cables from dish to basement?
If ever they will drill the hole how will they insulate this?
Since Bell usually connects 1 to 2 receivers for free will they provide cabling from the SW44 to a receiver located in the basement?
Since I would have 5 receivers will I need another Switch ( I think I have spare SW21 if I remeber right) ?will it be free? Does the Technician configure the 2 switches install at least 1 receiver and I will activate the rest?
Im trying to lower down any cost possible. Contractor is a bit pushy on providing the cables from basement to dish at 60 dollars each times 4 cables so 240 dollars plus tax. Do you guys think this is better.
On a "Move Order" Bell will install the Dish mount an SW44 at the rear of the Dish and run 1 line to 1 receiver anywhere in the house, for FREE. After that it is $50 per line. So to install the 2 HD & 2 SD you have now would cost you an extra $150.
Then you want to add a 5th Receiver/Tuner. Have a read through this thread;
All cables meet at the mechanical area in basement. I the SW44 would be at the rear of the dish how can other reciever be connected. Is there a way that the SW44 be located in the basement considering I would only settle for 4 receivers. Thank you.
If you are paying to install 4 receivers/tuners, then yes the Tech will or should mount the SW44 in the basement. If you are only getting the "Free Move Promo", then he will put it behind the Dish, as he will not be paid for the extra lines.
I have used a DPP44 with a 3100 no problem. Although I have 2 2700's of which 1 of them (a very old model with the old style AC cord) will not work with the DPP44 at all.
I know you know this, but did you run check switch? Run it with no DPP44 feed attached and with the feed attached.
