I dont think it will work with a sw-21 You need a dishpro switch
I;ll move this to the switch forum so the experts can wade in

I am kinda confused on your post here. You say that you have a dish 1000, but then you say 110 and 119. You do not have 129 also?

If you are using a dish 1000, is it setup where you have a dish pro plus twin LNB for 110 and 119, then a dish pro dual for 129 with a cable going from the 129 LNB to the input of the 110 / 119 LNB?

What was the original use of the SW-21?

Going to need a little more info here.

original setup was

SonicV 8000 with cheeta Disq
3 LNB DPRO 110-119-129

NOW Echosatart receiver 301 (it doesn;t work with the DISq)
Switch 21 for 110-119, got all the signals and Q at 95% on 110 and 119
But it doesn't work on all transponders, just few of them.

No problems on FTA receivers but on DishNet I have a the option for Dish500 only :(

Get rid of the external switches (SW-21, and diseqc) if you are still using them, and then hook the dish 1000 back up as normal.

Normal being cable from 301 receiver to the DPP LNB (110/119) and then cable from 129 LNB to the input of the 110/119 LNB.

Next power up the 301 receiver, and run the switch check. (should be MENU then 6, then 1, then 1 on your remote.)

Once you run the switch check, the receiver will learn the setup you have.

I'd toss in a dpp44. That will work with both your fta equipment and the 301.

The dpp44 is the one with the power inserter.

The 301 will provide the power needed to switch the LNB when used in conjunction with the FTA receiver.

If you have a 1000.2 like the picture below you dont need to use a switch... you can have up to 3 recievers....

No, the one I have has the 3 lnb separate it say DP, each one, and they have duals, the dish is 1000 dont the 1000.2

Thanks for the info

I am with you now.....you have a regular dish 1000 with three DP duals.

Similar to this pic here....

http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Dishnetwork/Dishes/DISH-1000-new.jpg

....but with three DP duals instead of one.

Okay you have a few options here.

1) If all you want is 110 and 119, and only on you DN 301 receiver, you need to get a DP-21 switch, as Torpainter was desribing to you (see pic).....

http://i8.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/a2/eb/a13e_1.JPG

If you want 110, 119, and 129, and you want it on both your DN 301 receiver as well as you SV 8000 you have two options...

2a) Get yourself a DP34 switch. Connect the three DP duals to inputs of the switch, and then connect the two receivers to the outputs of the switch. -or-
2b) Get yourself a DishProPlus Twin LNB for 110/119 (just like the first picture in this post). This is the LNB that has three coax connections on it. Two for outputs to your receivers, and one for an input from your 129 DP dual LNB.

...or get a dpp44 and you can run both your sv8k and the 301 off of it.

Same as doing it with a DP34 switch, but a lot more expensive.

Unlike the dp34, the dpp44 actually works. When running more than two charlie dp lnb's and an fta box you simply have to get a power inserter. It's possible you can get a dp34 to work with a charlie box on pin one but I wouldn't bet money on it.

I've been all over the 1000 and 1000+ with all sorts of charlie and FTA hardware. Get a dpp44. They aren't that expensive.

I guess the key thing here is not to loose track of the original question...


Can you please tell me if this works for Charlie on a 301 receiver please

Dish 1000,
LNB DPRO
Switch 21
110-119

Regardless if it is a DP-34 switch or a DPP-44 switch they will both work for a DN 301 receiver, that is what they are design for. If we want to talk mixing FTA and orignal DN equipment, then depending on the FTA receiver a DP-34 switch is not the best choice, but will work with most, and should get enough power from the DN 301 receiver to switch for a FTA receiver.

The DP34 switch is usually more readily available than a DPP-44 switch, and most people will not consider $100 for a new DPP-44 switch inexpensive.

That depends, some FTA receivers are able to power that LNB and some have issues with it, do you have any other switches or dishes in your set-up? Do you have a DN Sub sitting around that you can connect to the LNB along with your FTA receiver?

With a 1000.2 you should not need the switch anymore as the LNB has 3 "out" ports already. Check the back of your receivers and whichever one puts out the most power connect that one to port 1 of the LNB.
