The DPP44 switch

[barter]

You can also use 2 dual DP lnbs (one line from each) with the dpp34, or a regular DP twin lnb, it don't necessary have to be a dpp twin. Either will work.
Maybe a bit cheaper.

When a DPP twin is attached to a dpp34 it is seen and functions as a dp twin

Can't use a separator with a DPP34, which is why I have two used ones collecting dust

All outputs of the DPP44 have both birds, but the 3100 will only play programming from the 91 bird (and, I suppose, SD programming from 82, although I think there's only one or two SD channels on 82).

Anyone know where I could purchase a DPP44 switch in the Hamilton Ontario area?

I went to a sat store but they do not carry that switch....eBay a better bet?

Also....The DPP Dual LNBF is only a single head with two outputs, and that picks up both 91/82 sats?

Thanks again guys for all your help

You will get your best price for DP/DPP equipment off of ebay.

The DP Dual LNBF single LNBF is for one satellite only. Buy two of them to replace the two Legacy LNBFs Bell gives you. Then you just send one line from each of the DP LNBs to the DPP44 switch The second port on each of the LNBs is not needed, consider it a spare. The rest of the cabling has already be covered, and yes the DP LNBs work fine with the DPP44 switch.

Thanks

Ok.....all this great info, I know what iam doing now!

My purchase will be as follows.....for my 3-3100's and 1-9242 recievers

20" dish
2- dual DPP LNBF
1- DPP44 switch
1- seperator

Plus my cables.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks
Glenn

Looks good to me except that on Ebay they will sell DPP44 switches without the power inserter, I recommend that you buy one that includes the power inserter.

[Glenn3]

Thank-you

I would rather not purchase from eBay, but if I have no choice...I will

Thank-you

There is NO such thing as a DPP dual or DPP34. These only come as DP dual and a DP34.

There is however a DPP33 and DPP44

One ebay person I dealt with lives or lived in hamilton. Pm me if still looking and I can send you his email.

You are correct "Q".

Glenn, every reference I have made to a DPP Dual LNBF, was a typo, I meant a DPP Twin LNBF.

The DPP Twin LNBF, has 2 outputs and 1 input (not used at this time). It will work EXACTLY as I suggested, I just called it a Dual when it is really a Twin....

Hope that makes sense.

[Glenn3]

gotcha now Pinza....I really was confused there lol

thanks

[Pinza]

You and me both.....lol

I think this is how it works;

A Single LNBF - Has 1 Output Port
A Dual LNBF - Has 2 Output Ports
A Twin LNBF - Has 2 Output Ports and is double the width, fitting into BOTH openings in the "Y" Yolk.
A Quad LNBF - Has 4 Output Ports and is double the width, fitting into BOTH openings in the "Y" Yolk.


Is this correct "Q".?

Yes that was a typo on my part, there is no dishpro plus 34 only a dishproplus 44. any dish pro lnbs will work with it.

After reading up on this thread, and others, and looking at all the ways split the incoming lines, I think I have a handle on this, but would like some advise to double check before I buy the equipment.

my problem is that i only have 2 lines coming into my house,
do I go with to the dpp twin lnbf, one cable goes to an fta, and one cable goes to a separator and then to the bev dual tuner 9200.
or
go with 2 single dp lnbf's, one line each into a dpp44 switch, then one output to a separator for the 9200, and one output into the fta, this leaves a couple of spares for future.
correct me if im wrong, but i think both will work.

Do I need a dp - legacy adaptor? or is the 9200 considered dp compatible?
and will the dp or dpp lbnf's work with fta's?
thanks

[Pinza]

The 9200 is DP compatible.

Hi guys

Will it matter if the cable from the power inserter to the switch is say 20' feet long? I want to install the DPP44 in the basement but power it from the main floor.

Also I read my 9242 should be plugged into the power inserter instead of the switch.....dose this port put out more power... Is that why?

Thanks guys
Glenn
