switch questions

[Davil]

Hi Guys I wanted to setup another receiver in my house currectly I have 2 receivers hooked up to a dish pro quad lnb pointed at 119,110 going to two 4X1 with a dave sat lnb with dual outputs aim at 91 on both 4X1 switches and another dave sat aim at 129 with a single lnb just hookup to the 4X1 to my first receiver.What I would like to do is use the 110 and 119 off the second receiver and split them to go to the third receiver and keep 91 with the second receiver and use 119 110 only for the third receiver.13136 I do have a dp44 switch I can use and I have some s21 switch also long with more 4X1 switches.Could someone help with this and what switches will work.
Thanks

To use what you have:

Input 119 and 110 into your DPP44 switch.
Input both feeds of each LNB from 91 and 129 into 2 4x1 DiSEqC switches.
From outputs #2 & #3 of the DPP44 and the outputs of the 2 4x1 DiSEqC switches will feed to 2 SW21 switches, which in turn feed to Receiver#1 and Receiver#2.
From output #4 of the DPP44 will feed directly to Receiver#3.
The power insertor is place on output #1 of the DPP44. Do NOT place a FTA receiver on the power insertor, leave it empty.

Of course you will need to adjust your settings for each receiver to reflect this new setup.

You could try bypassing the DPP44 switch(not using it), and go from the DP Quad into the SW21s. My thinking is that FTA receivers may not power the DP Quad sufficiently.

Hi Willdekkard,
The switch I have is a sw 44 not a dpp44 is this going to work or do I have to have legacy lnb's to make it work.Thanks for your help on this.

A SW44 switch will not work for Dish Pro LNBs. Sorry, I must have had a brain-f@rt, you should be able to power that DP Quad sufficiently without the aid of the DPP44 switch. Place the DP Quad on 1 port of the SW21 and the DiSEqC from 129/91 LNBs on the other port of the SW21.

Hey Willdekkard,
First of all thanks for your help with this project,I quess I don't follow you on your instuctions.Do you mean take one 119 side and 110 side of the quad lnb and put them in the port of the sw21 that said( to receiver satelite in) which would give me 2 outputs(1-2) then run them into a diseqc switch with 91 ,129. And after then run the other outputs(110,119) to another diseqc switch to the third receiver.Thanks again!

lmao! i'm not sure what the heck u wanna do but with the hard ware your using i would suggest with the quad just use a sw21 switches and you will be fine.
one cable from the quad and one from 91 lnb into the sw21 switch and then to what ever box...
one cable from the quad and one from 129 lnb into the other sw21 switch and then to what ever box...u get the idea...make sure your antenna setting are correct

Each feed from a DP Quad will carry both sats(119&110). Take one feed from port#1 of the Quad and connect it to one side of the SW21. The other side of SW21 will be fed from the 4x1 DiSEqC(129 & 91).

Thanks Willdekkard and stream I got in going, I was not aware each feed will carry both satelites (110,119) good info to have.
