I have dual lnbs for 110, 119 and 129. Am using 3 eagle aspen dual lnbs with a 36 inch elipitcal dish with a dreamlink hd receiver. I am wanting to add a kbox sd receiver to this set up and wondering if the dp34 switch will work for both these receivers? Or is there a simpler solution, as I am trying to stay away from the dp44 switch due to hight costs of it in canada. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You can't use a DP34 switch with your LNBs. A Dp34 and DPP44 switches are made for use with DPro and Dpro Plus LNBs only.
Each of the LNBs you are using have 2 outputs, you can connect each LNB to 2 good diseqc switches and then to 2 receivers. A good switch will run you about $15 - $25.

Thanks Nixon didn't think I could. My problems is I am using the emp-centauri covered diseqc and they blow all the time with rain. I guess I will have to wrap them with plastic then. Thanks again!

They make switches that are for out door use. They have extra protection and some sort of shell to keep things dry. A little more expensive but might be worth it instead of blowing out switches.
