Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 610 Registered: Dec-07 | It is almost one week now, can't fix it. Want to get two sats.118 pointed with cb2008a and 129 pointed with legacy dual-2output-one satellite. It is Sub rec VIP 612 DVR. I gather the signal from both sats with sw21 and forwarded to a dish spliter.dish spliter received the signal and again splits the signal into two (sat1 and sat2) Attaching these two sat signal into rec. Now the problem starts. While checking the switch. Some time it says error some time it says can't find the signal may be bad weather or may be switch is bad. At some point it start recoganizing 118 and this sat working fine.But no channel from 129.Switch is still intact. what is wrong I'm doing. ANY CLUE>>> getting crazy here. |

Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 611 Registered: Dec-07 | I tried to switch both sats into rec without any switch. Rec doesn't recoganizin them at all. I will try again later. Plymouth, do you think if there any chance the switch can be bad. I'm wondering if I need any switch like dpp64 or dp34 ? Do you it is happening cuz I'm cb2008 and legacy. I do many questions. Please bear with me and keep on responding me . I will try other ways as well . Thank you plymouth. |
Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 612 Registered: Dec-07 | Plymouth, Is it true that type of using the switch depends on the type of LNB in use ??? |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 15010 Registered: Jun-06 | DP44 or similar might be what you need. You will get power problems with DP34, so if you are buying new, I suggest DP44 |
Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 613 Registered: Dec-07 | Ok. But nalin is that what I said above switch depends the type of lnb is true? Can we attach more than two sats with this perticular switch. What is diffference between switchs like dp64,dp44 dp 34 why dp44 for will where dp64 won't . Nalin I thank you both for help. |

Bad switch ????? Now I'm gonna go buy a switch. If i can't use it they don't take back. I wanna make sure im buying the right one. Plymouth, TELL ME ONE THING PLEASE...WHAT TYPE SWITCH DEPENDS WHAT TYPE OF LNB IN USE? please let know before I go. |
Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 615 Registered: Dec-07 | I,m ordering dp34 .Hope I'm not doing any thing wrong. |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 15011 Registered: Jun-06 | DP44. The first 4 is for 4 inputs. The second 4 is for outputs. You can connect 4 LNBs and at the output you can have up to four receives. All these directly attach to the Switch. The switch comes with power inserter - make sure it does. When you do ANY connect/disconnect with ANY switch, make sure the power to the receivers connected to the switch is OFF. Whereve you order it from, you can talk with the sles people and ask them if everything you have is compatible. |
Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 616 Registered: Dec-07 | Alright nalin. I got ur response right on time.. I was jsut outbid and planning bid.Thanks I will look for dp44 |
Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 617 Registered: Dec-07 | nalin, by the way what role power inserter does. What role it plays,. |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 15014 Registered: Jun-06 | The DP34 (3 input 4 output) was OK except that it needed power. With DN receivers it was not a problem, but attaching 2 FTAs caused a problems at time. You had to buy a a power inserter to help matter.s With DP44 this is not a problem as it comes with a power inserter. |
Silver Member Username: LomnaCalif U.S.A Post Number: 618 Registered: Dec-07 | Thanks. I'm trying ebay. You are right. I should get dp44.I may use that input later. mxmart isn't cheap either. Greatful. |
