How to connect a DP44 Power Inserter?

[redrooster]

I have search and read but can't find my answer.
want to use a DP44 Power Inserter to power a 1000.2 Dishnet dish for a FTA receiver.
I know I have to connect it to Port 1 and my stb to port 2.
What I am confused about is what side of the power inserter do I connect the coax cable from port 1 to?
The "To Receiver Satellite in"
or to "To Switch Input 1"??

Thanks Torpainter.

I did read this post before though and it does not say which side of the power Inserter should be connected to port 1 of the lnb.
The Dp power inserter has two outlets.One to "Switch 20.5 or 28v" and the other to "Receiver Sat in".
So which side do I use??
I would post the picture of the Power Inserter if I knew how.

One side should say to receiver and the other side should say to dpp 44 switch you use that one to run to the first port on your lnbs without the dpp44 switch

The side marked "Switch 20.5 or 28V" goes to the #1 port on the LNB.

This should be on it's own coax, as some FTA receivers do not like the DPP 44 power inserter inline with them.

The other 2 ports on the LNB will run two FTA receivers just fine after that.

The 4th connection on the LNB by its self is for a second Dish DPP type LNB.

All coax used to connect the receivers to the LNB MUST be rated to 2.5 GHz or swept to 3 GHz, (this will be marked on the coax) using coax rated for legacy satellite systems (under 2.5 GHz) or CATV (under 950 MHz) will not work too good, you will be missing a ton of channels on your receivers if you use them.

The coax to the LNB from the power inserter can be the CATV stuff, unless your using the receiver connection on the power inserter to run a FTA receiver, then it must be the 2.5 to 3 GHz stuff. (this connection is not recomended for some FTA receivers, this due to the funny input impedance of the power inserter's RX connection)

Thanks Terryl. It is crystal clear now.
