Get yourself a DishPro Quad and run a single line from the LNB per receiver and problem solved. Here is a related post. Oh and King hit it on the nose!

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1108 Registered: Oct-06 | I don't like DP-34 How many sats are you trying to get? 110/119 or 61.5? Super dish or dish 500? Click here on how a simple connection can be made with 2 LNBs https://www.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=2&post=1126401#POST1126401 I recommend Twin LNB ($25 off e-bay) 2 sats 1-wire to each receiver |

Gold Member Username: PrfrmnjPost Number: 2655 Registered: Oct-05 | King - I agree. DP34 really has no purpose unless you are trying to get three sats. I have one connected and it works good, but not everyone can get these things to work. There are other switches out there that will convert a dual ouput LNB to a Quad Output and a lot cheaper. Not to mention Zinwell came out with a really nice switch that's very FTA compatible to hook-up up to 8 sats and 8 receivers. I haven't tested this yet, but I have one on order to try it out. |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 9169 Registered: Jan-06 | DP quad LNB is a great LNB...receives 2 sat signals (110-119 or 82-91) for 4 receivers..don't need a DP switch, unless u want 3 satelite signals....and don't mix apples and oranges.. |

Bronze Member Username: BokiPost Number: 28 Registered: Feb-07 | i know lk but i only have two cables coming into the house. can i connect two cables to the lnb than into the DP34 switch, and into 3 stbs. will that work? |
