Can I do......
2-DPro heads (110 & 119) on a large Dish1000 dish, not using the 128 head.
Hook those to a DP34, came on the D1000 setup, then put a seperate legacy head on Dish500 dish on the DP34 for sat 91 BEV.
Then off that go to my LS from the DP34.
....will it work?
My question comes up only due to the legacy D500 on the DP34. The DN1000 setup was just recently removed from a working system, so I know it'll pick up all DN just fine. All three heads are seperate, not the single big one. The additional dish 500 is a single head unit for BEV only.

And if that works can I hook a subed DN box along with the FTA box to the DP34 or will the FTA bother it?
Thanks for reading, and if you KNOW the answer responses are welcome.

Connect 119 to input port#1 on the DP34 and 110 to input port#2. Connect your Dishnet receiver to receiver port#1 of the DP34(with or without the power insertor). Place a SW21 switch(Dish Brand) or a 22KHz switch between the 91 Legacy LNB and the DP34 for your FTA receiver. Ports 2,3, & 4 of the DP34 can be used for FTA receivers. Here is a pick below that is close to your setup needed(you should get the idea):

Remember to adjust your receiver settings to reflect the new setup.
