i connected a DP single lnb to a DP+ in connection...ran the cable directly to the sonicview8000, port 1 119 port2 110 port 3 129...i get 110 and 119 to scan fine, on ports 3 and 4 i get 110 in and not 129...129 is working as i go drictly from the lnb to the rcvr and it comes in fine...where am i going wrong w/ my connections...or is this set up even possible

Most likely not enough mhz from box. Use diseq sw instead.

What yor trying to do is called Satelite/polarity stacking
It requires DP34 switch and/or 1000mA
Yor SV8k must be able to support dp34 SW

DISEqC is less of a headache

so the recommendation from semore and King is the DP34 correct? 110/119 into port A and 129 into port B? thanks again...

But DP34 requres DPP LNBF and 1000mA power source
That setup is for D#N equipment

He's trying to stack 3 sats with 1 or 2 cables coming in

I'm trying tio give yo an idea
This is called stacker seperator
It only works with DP-Plus and DP34 or DP44
- It combines 2 satellites to one output
- Yo run only one cable inside the house
- Then use another seperator to split to 2 coax
- This is commenly used for dual tuners to reach rooms that has one connection
BUT IT REQUIRES DPP34 OR DP44 AND DPP LNBF

It changes the voltage from 13/18V to 20 Volts on one coaxial then yo split to 2 independent coax for 2 tuners

Upload

I'm bringing this point to show that hardware compatibility is the issue here

Without calling everyone @#!%!upid. You should be able to run one cable to a diseqc4x1 sw then 2 cables to dpp using port1 119, port2 110 and port3 to other lnb/dish 129. Otherwise to run the third lnb inline take old DN reciever but not an old legacy one and hook it to.... no I dont think you can even do that. If you find dpp works for a few minutes then you loose signal then just chuck it as hard as you can and stay away from DPP. Regular DP's are great though.
