If have a dishpro twin quad for sats 110/119, can hook it up too 4 cnx nano 2 receivers? I also have a dp34 switch, as another alternative to get 4 receivers up. Neighbors on both sides of my house.

you are planning to run cable to your neighbours house?

Yes you can hook-up 4 receivers to a DP-Quad LNB. 119 will be diseqc-1 and 110 will be diseqc-2 on all receivers.

.... to add - you will have to run 1 cable into the house for each receiver.

if planning to run to neighbors houses as well you might want to consider RG11 coax if the runs are going to exceed 200ft...RG6 works well with the DPQuad up to that but beyond that you start to experience more signal loss

How would you ground that set-up?

Same as you would any sat dish installation . I use rg6 and rg11 on the same grounding block.

I am going to run one to my neighbors on my left and run one to the neighbor on my right. I have a nano 2, plus a sub with a dish 625 receiver. The 625 is the problem. Can I have one line with a separator like the DPP twin? I have a dp34 and wonder if that would help in anyway, or do i not need it?

Use the Dish 625 receiver on the #1 input of the LNB, this will provide enough DC power for this LNB and will help compensate for the long runs of coax to the other houses, the other receivers on ports 2, 3 and 4, and as others have mentioned use the good coax (RG-6 quad with a pure copper center or RG-11) on the long runs, try to mount the dish in between the two longest runs, ground the dish where its mounted.
If you have signal problems then you may need a powered switch.
You can use the dish seperator on a dual input dish receiver, but not on any other receiver.

I belive he was asking because the 625 is a dual-tuner receiver. so he needs to run 2 cables to the 625. Sadly you can only use a separator with a DPP LNB or DPP switch, so it looks like only 1 neighbor gets free TV unless you go with a DPP-44 switch and then the separator on 1 of the line to the 625.
