5 Birds to dpp 44

[havenlyskyhigh]

Plant to add one more bird 129 to my dpp44.

How do I add one more bird to my dpp 44 now the switches had 97,110,118 and 119 already in?

Any recommendation how do I add in thanks.

You can't add a 5th satellite to the DPP44 switch.

The only way to do this is with a 22 KHz switch added to the system. (This is assuming you only have 1 receiver)

You use the DPP44 switch for 110, 118, 119 and 129, you then put the 22 KHz switch on the receiver output from the DPP44, the second input of the 22 KHz switch is for the 97 satellite.(The 22 KHz switch also has to have DC power pass on both sides)

It would switch like this,

Diseqc port #1 = 119W, 22 KHz OFF.
Diseqc port #2 = 110W, 22 KHz OFF.
Diseqc port #3 = 129W, 22 KHz OFF.
Diseqc port #4 = 118W, 22 KHz OFF.

Diseqc port = NONE (97W), 22 KHz ON.

Just out of curiosity how are you connecting 97 to the DPP44, at the moment?

The DPP44 switches LNB input port #4 will take an FSS LNB, DP LNB, DPP LNB or any other type of standard LNB. (anything but an old style legacy)

Can I use switch SW21 to connect the # 4 input port with sat97?

You can only tie in after the DPP44 switch, so yes you can connect 97 using a sw21 switch. Take one of the outputs and connect it to one side of the sw21 switch, connect the line from 97 to the other connection of the sw21 switch, the output from the sw21 will go to the LNB in on your receiver.
