The DPP44 switch - Page 21 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Yes that is also fine.

The Power Inserters have always been problematic.

Hi,

I was wondering if I can replaced my defective SW44 Power Inserter/power supply with a DPP44 power inserter/power supply. I know that the SW44 power supply provide 24V dc but I don<t know fot de DPP44.

Thx

No you cant. If you use the dpp 44 you will also need a dpplus lnbf and separators for all duel tuner receivers..... I think it would be a lot cheaper just to buy another sw44...

Rich7 · 2012-03-01, 10:47 AM

Not sure I'm following you crs75.

I'm talking about the power inserter and power supply, not the switch itself. I know that the power supply for the SW44 is 24 volt DC. Is it the same thing for the DPP44 one?

This is why I'm asking because I think that the DPP one is 28.0V or 21.5 V DC.

Thx

I am sorry I must have been still sleeping this morning... I don't think you can and yes you are right the sw44 is 24.0 V and 1000 MA and the dpp 44 is 28.0 V 1.65 A ...

Something few knows about SWDPP44 is their ability to use 6 receivers with only a DPP Twin. Yes, you can use the additionnal switch ports #1 and #2 on receivers, but remember to always use even number of the switch on HD receivers (Example: Put the 9241 on Satellite In #2 or #4 port)

Pinza · 2012-03-28, 07:26 PM

Can you explain this again in a manner that we can understand.?

What is an SWDPP44, for example.

JoeLouie · 2012-03-28, 09:13 PM

I think what he's saying is that you can hook up 6 receivers to a DPP44. 4 using the normal outputs that you'd normally use, and 2 of the outputs that would normally cascade to a second DPP44, but you can only use #1 and #3, or #2 and #4?

But I could be way off on that one lol.

This is the first I've ever heard of this and I doubt it actually works 100% (if at ll). If it did, Bell would be telling techs to do it like this rather than using a DPP Quad and DPP44.

Pinza · 2012-03-29, 03:12 AM

I agree. Even if it is possible, there must be a reason NOT to do it, otherwise as you say, all 6 receiver installations on Dish would just use a DPP44 and not 2 of them.

Hi,
I want to have more HD receivers in my house (I currently have one HD PVR and one regular HD receiver) so I can do the following correct?
I have two lines coming from the dish and each line is going to a receiver. If I buy this switch I would have to make sure that both lines meet on the same level of the house and then install the lines into the switch. From the output on the switch I would then feed a line to each of the receivers. Correct?

TurboTronix · 2012-06-26, 03:07 PM

Yes exactly. The satellite cables (the 2 coming from you dish) will go into Port 1 and Port 2 (on the left hand side of the DPP44). The receivers will connect at the bottom of the DPP44 (up to 4 receivers). Don't forget to rescan the Dish once installed since the receiver needs to find that there is a DPP44 in the configuration.

m3repair · 2012-06-26, 03:20 PM

As long as its coming from a DPP Twin to a DPP44 your good to go, only thing I want to ensure is that 91 is on port 1 of the DPP44 (otherwise known as Port 1 to Port 1) and 82 on port 2 (otherwise known as Port 2 to Port 2). Once this is completed and the power inserter is connected on the recevier side of output number 1, just go ahead and hit menu 6 1 1 and then select the option for check switch, once complete you should have Port 1 = 91 and Port 2 = 82 and check switch indicating DPP44 as the switch type, and thats it, oh wait did I mention Bob's your uncle?

mikalh78 · 2012-06-26, 03:26 PM

perfect! now i just gotta find someone who sells it

tsgee · 2012-07-10, 05:51 PM

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but looking for an opinion what to do.

I currently have a DPP twin lnb feeding into a DP34 which feeds into 3 SD receivers. I'm about to upgrade two of the receivers to a 9241 and a 6141. I'm pretty sure the 6141 won't be a problem. The 9241 will work off one input, but I won't be able to record and watch something else at the same time. If I didn't want to run a second line to the 9241 is the DPP44 the best option with a dish seperator or is there a better option? I also don't want to run more than the two lines I have from the dish.

Pinza · 2012-07-10, 06:04 PM

You answered your own question...... The DPP44 is what you need, then with the use of DPP Separators behind the 9241 you can feed BOTH tuners with the one line, which is just perfect.
