I'm thinking of upgrading to an Emp-Centauri 13x4 switch from a DP 34 in order to bring in a couple of more birds.
Currently get 119, 110 and 91 but want to bring in 129 and 82 for HD.
Just wondering if I can keep my DP lnbs or if I'll have to swap them out for legacy lnbs.
I've read there could be issues with Dp's but haven't heard a definitive answer either way.
Are they all DP duals? DP lnb's that pick up more than one sat have built in switches.
If you have all DP duals it may be possible, you would just need 1 lead to the 13 volt connector ( I think the vertical uses 13 volts).

I've got a DP twin for 119 and 110, and a DP dual for 91.

DP LNB's are only compatible with Dish or Bell approved switches, the switch must be able to handle the 2450 MHz high band for the H or L transponders.
A standard Diseqc switch will work, but the DP twin LNB must be used for 110 and 119, and it's Diseqc switch port # 1 must be used for 119, and Diseqc switch port #2 for 110.
The EMP switch you looking at is a legacy +13 and +18 volt switch, it has 2 inputs (one for the +13 and one for the +18) per legacy LNB for a total of 6 LNB's, the 13th input is for an OTA TV antenna.
