Dishnet turbo HD Dish

[Panther71]

I was wondering can you use a Dishnet turbo HD Dish 119, 110, 129 with dreamlink or any other ftas?

Let me know thank you

[hedley]

yes, but you will need a power source on port 1 to run the internal dp34 switch.

[Panther71]

ok if I have a dp44 will this work?

so how will I run the wires?

[hedley]

yea that will work, port 1 on the LNBF is sat 119 that goes into port 1 on the switch, port 2 is sat 110 and also port 2 on the switch, port 3 is sat 129....port 1 on the "to receiver/power inserter" on the switch should be used for the power inserter and or OEM receiver and port 2 though 4 for your FTA receivers.

ok thanks for your help

[hedley]

anytime my friend, be sure to set your LNB Type to OCS-DP.

There is really is no need to use the external DPP44 switch with that dish,(unless you need to add more then 2 receivers to the system) just use the DPP44 switches power inserter by it's self on the #1 receiver port, that will run the LNB's just fine.
You can run 2 other receivers off the other 2 ports on that LNB.

Some (but not all) FTA receivers do not like the DPP44 power supply in-line with them, some have had switching problems, that's why the power supply is on it's own coax to the #1 port.
