I just installed a dp44 with my dreamlink t5. it's running the latest firmware. I am running 82&91 on a dpp quad lnb. and 110&119 on a dp twin lnb. So the quad sets up just fine. The twin will only show one sat. So if I set the box to get 119, 110 won't come in. If I set the box for 110, 119 wont come. I have 2 lines coming out of the lnb just like the quad. When I run a single line in from the twin I get signal on both 110&119. I tried swapping the ports on the switch to no luck.
So I'm a bit stumped on this one. Any help would be greatly welcomed.

You can't run a DP twin and a DP quad into a DP44 switch, there will be switching conflicts.

The only way to put 4 satellites into a DP44 is with a D1000 LNB (sats 110/119/129) and a single DP LNB for 129.

The only way your setup will work for 110/119 and 91/82 is to use 4 DP single LNB's, then all you need is one coax from each LNB to the switch.

So they have to be dish pro lnbs? Or any normal lnb?

you can use legacy with a disecq and sw switch
5 sats with those 2 switches

Ok got the right LNBS. Single line coming off 4 lnbs on 2 separate dishes. Each line going to each input on sw44 switch. Power line hooked to its own input 3 boxes to others. Can't seem to get any of them to go.

Ok tried the one receiver no luck. So now I have 91 coming in to 1A nothing else hooked. Can't get that no matter what settings I try. I'm at a loss. Maybe someone can let me know what settings I should be trying.

Ok Do I need to run a line from each output on the dual lnbs to the sw44 switch? Thus aiming at 4 birds with 2 dishes with 2 dual lnbs on both would equal 8 lines coming into the house on 2 switches for this to work for 3 boxes? If this is true is there an easier way?

1 line per box

Can't seem to get any of them to go.an SW44 switch will only run two legacy LNB's, two outputs per LNB, for two satellites, you need the DP single LNB's and a DPP44 switch.

that is why there is only a SAT 1 A and B, SAT 2 A and B, it needs two lines to switch the =13 and +18 volts per LNB.

A DPP44 switch will switch 4 single DP type LNB's for 4 satellites.
