dp44 switch

[jamester]

trying to set up my dp44 switch to my dreamlink hd no strength though an cant find any sats
i have tried to hook it up through the power inverter an in the second input beside it still no signal any ideas ?

The DP 44 switch will only work with DP type LNB's.

The DP44 switch uses Diseqc switch settings from your satellite setup menu, Diseqc port # 1 would be for 119W, port # 2 would be for 110W, port #3 would be for 129W, port #4 would be for 118W.
The coaxes from the LNB's have to be connected tot the same numbered ports.

Or port # 1 would be for 77W, port #2 would be for 72.7W, and port #3 would be for 61.5.

Or port # 1 would be for 91W, and port #2 would be for 82W.

The DP44 DC power inserter MUST be used to run this switch, it has to go to the receiver port #1 on the switch.

i have 91 82 110 119 i had 119 in spot 1 an 110 in spot 2 an have not tried to hook up 91 82

What type/brand/make of LNB's are you using?

Some wont work with a DPP44 switch.

[jamester]

using a dp plus digital lnbf 2 out 1 in

Ahhhhhh......The DP+ LNB does not need the DPP44 switch, it has an internal switch, Diseqc 1= 119, Diseqc 2= 110.( is this a two satellite only LNB)(some DP+ LNB's have 118 also)

And will never work with a second DP+ LNB hooked into a DPP 44 switch, all the switching commands will get scrambled up.

If need to connect these two LNB's to only one receiver, then a 22 KHz switch would be needed.

Diseqc switch settings would be, Diseqc port # 1, 22 KHz OFF would be 119W, Diseqc port # 2, 22 KHz OFF would be 110W, Diseqc port # 1, 22 KHz ON would be 91W, Diseqc port # 2, 22 KHz ON would be 82W.

Or replace all DP plus LNB's with DP dual LNB's,(single satellite LNB) then it all will work fine through the DPP 44 switch.

that sucks just bought this 2 i bought 2 of them i have 2 receivers an a bev one to set up this is not possible is it

[Terryl]

Well the problem would be the BEV receiver, it will not like the two other LNB signals from 110/119.

I would sell the two DP + LNB's you have now (on Ebay) and get 4 DP duals, then the BEV receiver will be happy, put the signals from 91 and 82 as the first two (Diseqc # 1 = 91, # 2= 82) on the DPP44 switch, then the 110 and 119 will be fine to the FTA receivers.

It would be switched like this, Diseqc port #1 = 91W, Diseqc port #2 = 82W, Diseqc port #3 = 119W, Diseqc port #4 = 110W,this is a happy combo to all receivers.
