I would like to split dish signals one i want to give to my original dish receiver and another to viewsat. is it possible? how do i do it? i want to do this so i can use my original receiver during blackout period.
Thanks for trying to help but, its way more complicated than that if he has a dish500 or something..
Lets let him answer the first question I asked and then go from their. Its best to try to get all the set up information then determine what parts will be needed. I would hate to see him read that, drive 150 miles, pay &&, drive home 150 miles, just to find out because the problem was diagnosed with so little information the part he just got will not work...It has happened in here before.
he only wants to use one box at a time in one room for one tv. it doesnt matter what his setup is... only an a/b switch is needed for the two boxes... so long as only one box is on at a time.
well i have one superdish 22 with 118 and 119, 110 and another one for 148, all goto dp 44 and each one is connected to different rooms. i want to conenct both viewsat and dn receiver so dn gets updated if blackout occurs so my receiver doesn't becomes inactive and i don't have to reactive it.
well i don't want to use them at the same time. but if i use A/B switch then my DN box will not be updated when they change software or ECM. It will result in deactivating of smart card if i don't use it for a long time, so i want to do is update DN at the same time when change occurs.
dp44 has 4 inputs (sat) and 4 outputs receivers. There WILL be a spare output on the DP44. Bring a new cable down from it and both will be active on two cables. Always have the DN receiver ON to supply poser to the switch and LNBs, even when you are not using it. Do a google on dp44 and you will see th ediagram.
I read that part about you not wanting to disconnect the DN receiver.. that switch Chris wants you to use will not work.
Nalin is more experanced with your situation than I am. I am hopping he can help you from here to get it all working...
I would just advice to use a different antenna for the FTA receiver I have found it is very hard to get the DN receivers and FTA receivers to work together that way. Of corce the best way to enjoy and receive every sat available for a FTA receiver is a Motorized dish..Their are over 15 sat's you are missing with your set up and about 1500 channels....now that I can help you set up.
hmmm.... i have no idea to do wire things up! i am not very techie. how much it will cost me to setup? Do i need bins if i use true FTA? do i have to adjust antenna manually everytime? do they have internation (hindi) programs on FTA? PPV on fta? All i use viewsat if for hindi / punjabi and cricket.
I wouldn't mind using dish but they are tooo expensive. toooooooooooooo expensive for monthly programs. like they want to become bill gates overnight.
Well Rati then you would def LOVE the international channels on FTA....
No no bin's are needed the channels on true FTA are "in the clear" so that also means they work all the time 100%
With a motor mounted on a dish the receiver can move the dish to point to the sat you need to watch the channel you have chosen. It take about 2 hours to set up the first time then after that its as easy as just watching tv....
Here is info I have that I copy and Paste all the time here
The best set up for FTA is a 31" dish, Motor, and proper lnb for DBS ( dn-bev ) and true FTA ( QTH-031 ).....
Their are 31 sat's out their with programing on them with over 2500 channels you can get with a clear sky and that set up......
Cost is around $150 and set up is very easey most times easer than all the switching required with using 2 dishes to just get a few sat's...
You said in your original post "i want to give to my original dish receiver and another to viewsat. " I did not see more than 2 receiver in there. You better start again with what ALL your needs are.
Also if each port is being used then you will need to set up a diferant antenna I would say would be the easiest..Like I said you start trying to mix subbed DN receivers and a fta receiver and it gets into a nightmare of switches and settings in the FTA antenna settings menu..also you could get close to spending the same amount of $ you would have to just go get a motorized antenna. I would hate to see you damage one of your DN receivers eather those are not cheap to get repaired and.....here comes the installers to fix it for ya...thats scary too Might as well call DN now and tell them you have been watching PPV and stuff for free....
RTAP : Why do you have to jump in when you do not know anything about it? You are always interfering in other people's threads. READ WHAT SHE SAID I have dish 500 with DP44 switch.
He was trying to help yes but, if he would have read the entire thread she said she has 4 receivers and a switch just like that one. In the end she decided to go get a different antenna set up for the fta receiver. I do wish people would at least read the thread top to bottom, think then add information if it is needed.
I'm in the same boat except. I only have one DN receiver and one Viewsat.DISH network guys installed Dish on my roof. Both dish has two LNB's. On one Dish it is using 110 and 119 and second is only using 148(Other one is empty). Cable from each Dish goes to another one and one cable comes out from each dish. That goes into DISH prvided Switch(as two inputs) which will bring one output and it goes to utility box outside of my house. Then Dish from inside hom used another switch to hook up my 2 bedrooms. So from wall I get one cable which goes into Switch again and it has 2 out puts. One output goes into receiver as 1st Dish and other goes as 2nd Dish.
So I;'m also looking at solution.... Nalin any help
hey nalin let me tell u something i have tried to stay away from u and not bash u.and i will continue to try to help people here even though i know u will be waiting for me to mess up and point it out to me.in any way did my post not try to help this person.or do u think i have all day just to sit in front of the computer to read every post.a lot of people here don't know the many wrong post u have given here but i do.lets get something straight u stay out of my way and i will stay out of yours.lets just try to help the ones that need it.if people here don't appreciate my help then i will stop helping.
Its cool to help but if you want to help start by reading the entire thread then you will have all the information before posting a solution.
It has nothing to do with you and another users personal problems.
Its kinda like going to a tire shop with a flat in the trunk that the guy cant see and he say's as soon as you pull up I can fix your problem you need new wipers.....see he did not get all the information first and now sounds like a.......
hey TFT i have no issues with u.and i fuuccked up this time,but have u seen this happen to me often.everyone is here helping on their own free will,no one is obligated here to help.i come here everyday to help like u.i guaranteed everyone here has posted something wrong.its the way someone says something(theres always the correct way and the incorrect way of saying something.
reach honey: You said "Cable from each Dish goes to another one and one cable comes out from each dish." Did you mean to say that the cable from the Dish with 148w goes into the other dish and then the two cables of the 119/110 Dish go to a switch? Please be a little more precise.
RTAP, you helped me many times in the past bro. Especially when I had to JTAG my friend's 3500. I want you to know it is appreciated. I think so many good people are here and I really think this site is better than any FTA site for learning and discussion.
Tooter, We have resolved that issue she is going to get a new antenna. Your idea might work not sure if anyone has tried that..I also thought about that too..The only thing I can see is while the FTA receiver is on the DN receiver would have to be off and she did not want her DN receivers EVER off..Then you would have to fight the FTA receiver to get it to operats that switch correctly to change LNB's...I am not even sure of the proper settings in the FTA receivers menu to do that...It is just so hard to get DN subbed receivers to work with a FTA receiver and all receivers get signal from the antenna.....Also if you noticed she is interested in the FTA stuff and that set up would not allow the receiver to get that.
So we are back to get a new antenna for the FTA receiver..
Nalin, One cable from 148 goes into 110/119 that bein said so one cable from 110/119 and one cable from 148 comes out.Which goes into a some switch and then one cable comes out from that switch. Hope it clears your doubt...
lol... nalin and fta... fta are u nalins b1tch now? Bot of u two women jumping on TAP for trying to help. Christ!! Nalin, how many peoples recievers u killed trying to help?? fta, u just simply dont know sh1t! All u do is try to push the motor on people. U give out bad info all the time. The ont hting u are good at is getting them to list their dish, lnb, and hookup for someone else to help them. Keep helping tap
