can you hook a single port legacy LNB TO a DPP twin LNB and if do i need a switch

[satchick]

If you're talking about connecting the legacy LNB to the input port, then no. That input port will only work with a DP/DPP LNB.

The only dpp that you can connect an external lnb to ids a dptwin plus - it has an additional port designed specifically for that purpose . ( the twin+ will receive 110/119 or 91/82 + whatever satellite you choose ))

Not quite sure what it is that you would like to know regarding the 'LNB ITS SOME TYPE OF UNIVERSAL LNB' - as satchick indicated you can not connect to the 2nd port on the dpp - you will have to combine the 2 lnbs with a switch .

Only if you have a dptwin plus - a dptwin ( as you indicated in your first post)won't work.

If you do have the plus model than no external switch is required - the in-port should be set to diseqc port 3 in your antenna settings.

Back to the original question. As Satchick said you can only connect a single DP LNB into the input port of DPP Twin LNB.

If you use a DPP44 switch then it is possible to connect your Legacy LNB into input port#4 of the switch as that port is designed for a Standard FSS Linear LNB. Another thing to keep in mind is the possible power issues or lack of power issues. Depending upon the receivers you have connected, you may need a DPP44 switch with the power inserter which ever route you take? :stop:

Sounds like it's meant for true FTA, and it prolly won't work for DN, unless it's L.O. Freq. can be tuned to 11,250 Mhz.
