110/119 are on a dpp lnb with dish 500 and other 91/82 are on legacy dual lnb's an 18' d!sh. What configuration is best to get all 4 sats on to 2 receivers being that legacy and dpp lnb's are being used?

Know that sw-34/44 are only for DPP LNB's and that SW-21's and 2 Ecoda SW-22 switches are the way to go. For instance read that with dual lnb's send an out from each signal to sw/21. Then connect sw-21 to sw-22 and on other side of sw-22 connect a signal form dpp lnb. This should give 4 signals to one receiver. However was wondering on the sw-21 which signal on the 18 inch should go in sat 1 or sat 2, and on which side of the sw22 does the dpp lnb signal go on LNB A or B, and then how do you configure the stb.

You might not find any solution for that combo. Dp lnb and legacy will work but DPP does not like SW21 for me anyway, so it probably doesnt like legacy either. DN lnb's twin the 2 in 1 and the dual is really a singles with 2 port's. If you have twins on each dish you might be able use dp34/44 with one wire to the legacy and 2 wires to DPP for the 34. Settings will have lnb type with legacy 1 for 91 2 for 82. DP type lnb for 110/119 and diseq 1 2 or 3 depending on with port on the switch you connect dpp lnb's to. 91/82 will be sharing same diseq port#. LNB freq should be set to 11250. If the dpp aren't going to work what you will have is the quallity signal will blink instead of being steady steady

I have 2 dishes, both with legacy twins. I have found that you are better off to have all legacy or all dishpro. I have a coax from each dish running to 2 recievers. I have a 22khz switch at each reciever. Settings are diseqc off on all sats, and 22khz off for 110/119 and 22khz on for 82/91. Somehow the bin changes the twins internal switches when i change channels. This setup works very good.

The best statement made in a long time:

Suggested method from elsewhere works great!

sw21 connects 91 (Dish1) & 82 (Dish2) to
the 22khz side of 1 SW22. DPP LNB to the 0khz side of the SW22

91 Settings
LNB Type Standard
22 Khz = ON
Diseqc - None
Legacy - SW21 Dish1

82 Settings
LNB Type Standard
22 Khz = ON
Diseqc - None
Legacy - SW21 Dish2

119 Settings
LNB Type OSC-DP (DishPro)
22 Khz = OFF
Diseqc - Port 1
Legacy - None

110 Settings
LNB Type OSC-DP (DishPro)
22 Khz = OFF
Diseqc - Port 2
Legacy - None
