Got a question on seperators on Dish 500/1000+ lnb's

[satviewing]

According to what I have read it says we can use separators to split signal coming from new type of built in switch (DP44) for 110/118/119/129. It has only 3 output so it can run 3 boxes. However if I use separators then can I run 5? ie use 2 separators on 2 lines coming in? I am assuming it will one one receiver connected all the time for power.

If that can be done then please let me know.

The only FTA receiver that can use A (as is one single) DP separator is the SV 360 Elite. That use is only to supply the second tuner and that's all. They can't be used as you are thinking.

Well that goes that idea. I am too old to crawling around to get 2 more cables connected. Have to find a solution lol

You could use a Dish 500+ and a separate dish for 129, useing the DP LNB's on all you can then use 2 DPP44 switches and run 6 FTA recivers off those switches.(you could run 9 with a third switch)

You could run 8 but the #1 port of the DPP44 switch is the port for the power inserter to run the switch and is not too friendly to some FTA receivers.

It would look something like this.
