6 lnb set up dpp44 and dpp34

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me out

All you can do is try it, if it works, then great, but all the LNB's need to be DP or DP plus, if the BEV LNB's are the old style legacy it may not work too good.

Dish LNB's and switches are finicky, they sometimes don't play well with non DP approved switches, and don't like to play well with more then 4 DP LNB's as the equipment was never designed to do so, Dish does not have the need to go beyond 4 satellites.

If after you loose all your hair by pulling it out and your neighbors are tired of you swearing, jumping up and down and throwing things off the roof, you can try replacing all the LNB's with 6 standard LNB's,(one has to be the special one for 118) and a Diseqc 1.1 or 2.0 8x1 switch.

Diseqc 1.1 or 2.0 commands allow the use of up to 16 LNB's, a Diseqc switch with more then 4 satellite inputs would work a bit better then the mix your trying to connect together.

If you decide to try it, be sure to ground all switches to one main outside ground point.

And are you only going to run the one receiver?

Just a thought as I don't know a lot about switches but instead of the ecoda 21switch wouldn't a DN switch 21 be better than that as adding 2 sats together was how they used to work? Just a thought ....20945
