DP34 MULTI SWITCH WILL COMBINE 3 SATELLITES SIGNAL ( 119, 110, 148 "61" OR 121 BIG DISH )AND FEED THEM TO 4 RECEIVERS. NO POWER ADAPTER NEEDED...DO YOU MEAN POWER INSERTER?

i got mine off the ebay, think was somewhere $40, try google it.

the problem with the dp34 is the fta box does not have enough juice to keep up the switch, you will either need a dn receiver on port 1 or a dp adapter to power up.

some threads I read said vs worked on the dp34, but not on mine.

maybe you can use one and sell the other, only $0.95 you get two.

ive used that switch on cs,vs,cw,and even flu. never had a problem. there all set up and working good. np at all and no power adapt on any of them. maybe your useing cable wire insted of sat wire. sat wire rg6 is thicker then cable wire coaxial.

Flea, i tried one of those adapters for a dp34 and lost signal, i think it's an adapter from disp pro equip to legacy receivers or viceversa.

the dp adapter is design for legacy receivers to compatible to d pro.

I had the dp34 on vs, would lost quality after about five minutes, thought 2 vs might have enough juice to it, but still no, so I have to use the adapter, another reason in consideration was, everything are dn genuine, I ain't sure if the generic would work on those, it is bit pricey but better off with dp products without further hassles.

Here we go again.
I don't have data on power requirement handy, but in many instances you need extra power and usually you use the output port 1 for it. It can be power sypply as Madflea has suggested or an old useless DN reciever kept on all the time.
Let us not have this repetitive statement "I have ..DP34 with ...receiver and..... receiver .... but I never had any problem". YOU will not be around when the person gets the problem.
Sometime the problem happens in a strange way. One post came something like this:-
"Is there a problem with Sat... Everything is fine and then suddenly at about 10.30 p.m. my ... goes dead. It is not the same time every day "

The problem in this case was that somebody turned off one receiver on a DP34 and the other receiver went dead because two receivers on were OK to power the system, but one on its own was not.

DP34 Switch Features

* The first switch in the new DISH Pro Technology series of LNBFs and switches.
* Three inputs for use with up to three orbital locations.
* Four outputs for connections up to four tuner inputs.
* Three "trunk" connections, to "trunk" to another DP34 Switch.
* Does not require power insertion.
* Can be used indoors or outdoors.
* DishPro switches may be cascaded 3 switches deep and are DiSEqC Compatible.


Special Considerations

* Can only be used with DISH Pro LNBFs (DISH Pro Twin LNBF for two orbital locations (110° and 119°), DISH Pro Twin LNBF with a DISH Pro Single LNBF for three orbital locations or up to three DISH Pro Single LNBFs).
* When used with a DISH Pro Twin, the LNBF operates in its default state: one port provides 110° and one port provides 119°. Either port of the DISH Pro Twin can be connected to any two LNBF ports of the DP34 Switch.
* Tuner Outputs: DISH 301 and DISH 501 have one tuner, and would use one DP34 tuner output; DISH 721 has two tuners, and would use two DP34 tuner outputs.
* Up to three DP34 Switches can be "trunked" together, for connections up to twelve tuner inputs (12 single-tuner receivers (DISH 301 or DISH 501), or a combination of single-tuner receivers and two-tuner receivers (DishPVR 721).
* There must be at least one DISH Pro receiver (or a legacy receiver with a DISH Pro Adapter) connected to the switch at all times to provide power. The receiver can be connected to any receiver port on the DP34 Switch.
* DISH Pro Installations can support up to 200' RG-6 cable lengths, from the LNBFs to the furthest receiver. DP34 Switches can be placed anywhere in the installation, but placement closer to the receivers is recommended.
* Two styles of DP34 Switches will be sold. Both switches provide identical features and functionality, but have different exterior cosmetics.


Legacy Receivers

* A "legacy" receiver (non-DISH Pro receivers, released before DISH 301) can be connected to a DISH Pro DP34 Switch, when used with a DISH Pro Adapter.

I have had a lot of problems making this simple statement. There are diehards and disciples of posters long gone, who will waste a lot of your time for a matter of $10 or less insurance using a power supplement.

The above is mostly B/S.
You can supply power to output Port 1 of DP34 using an external power supply. In fact this is better method, because keeping a DN receiver on all the time might be a little too hard on your utility bills.

RTAP: KEEP YOU LONG POSTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF CRAZYFTA*COM READERS

People are looking for precise answers to their problems, not a long C/P from other sources.
Also the days of wiping out a good thread with long posts and profanity are long gone with the departure of your Guru. Remember that similar and other techniques can be used against you too.
I don't think "the one" is going to accept that.

RTAP: Are you not the same person who posts a 16" long message of all cables for all the receivers when asked about a specific receiver?

This thread is about a power adaptor for a DP34, not about the DN manual on use of DN receivers with DP34. You are as stubborn as your Gurus when it comes to updating your knowledge.

This forum is about FTAs and not about DN or BEV or DTV equipment.
This forum is about making best use of what you have with new FTA receivers.
This forum is about helping people at arriving at a cost effective solution.

You may continue your ignorance at crazyfta, but YOU WILL NOT COME HERE AND ATTEMPT TO RUIN A THREAD.

Johnner : English language is very subtle and descriptive, much more than most European and Indian Languages. You can say a lot in a few words. I said : "The above is mostly B/S"
It means what it says in the context of the original question

well what ever it is, this is my set up, dp adapter on output 1 of dp34, and output 2/3 go to my vs.

without the dp adapter, either my vs will be down within 5 minutes, I have never tried with both boxes on, usually I only watch one tv, the extra one just for in case or convenient.

Mad Flea : You are doing the right thing. Keep it powered as you are and you will be OK. There are many instances of Viewsats and Pansat 3500 failing and needing capacitor replacement because of power draw problem.
All the best.

ernesto, african,

do not connect your receivers to the dp adapter like the instruction describe, I tried, you will mess up all the signals.

dp adapter go to output #1 alone by itself, so you still have 3 receivers can use.
