Will will two Legacy LNB's and a Diseqce switch fool a Dik or B3V sub box?

[jets]

Will a dual legacy dish with a diseqc set to 119 on port one and 110 on port two fool a subed HD box into thing the LNB is a Dik Pro? Or is the oscillator frequency different?

TIA

No, the subbed box has to do a switch check to find out what it's connected to, it will go through it's list of DP equipment and won't find a Dish switch it can use.

Dish receivers need to use all Dish equipment, you cant fool them.

So can I use SW21 or 44 on the newer dik Pro boxes or does it have to be dik pro LNB?

BTW thanks Terryl for fast reply.

So will a DP twin with a separator work for the latest dual tuner units?

[Terryl]

Yes a DP separator and DP twin (if it's a twin DP pro dual satellite LNB) will work on the latest VIP dual tuner units, but you must do a switch check to get the receiver to find 110 and 119 through the separator.

many thanks T

I've tried a DP twin with a DPP seperator on a DN receiver once, it did not work, so I think lnb has to be DPP.

That is correct, if it's a DP Twin (not a DPP) lnb then you don't use the separator, you run 2 line from the DP Twin lnb to the receiver.

but the DP twin will work with a VIP receiver one tuner or two (two sat lines) correct?

[Terryl]

They made two types of DP twins, the old style had two (2) "F" connectors on it, the new style has three (3), two for the receivers and one for a second LNB input.

The new style will work with the DPP separator.
