New member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 7 Registered: Feb-08 | Hey Nalin, thanks for the reply. My question was in that switch one of the 3 inputs is tv antenna. Can i plug a third satellite into that port? I will have 110 on A 119 on B and 61.5 on tv/antenna? And then all 5 tvs will be able to switch channels and have good signal? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3079 Registered: Oct-06 | 6x8 switch is the only option for 3 sats to up to 8 receivers   But if I were yo I would not replace the DP34 I would pick one output and split it to 2 rooms This will share transponders But in many cases yo won't be in all 5 rooms at same time So yo turn off one receiver while watching the other  If yo use a splitter it must be high freq 2GHz or 2000MHz 2.4 G or 2400MHz Any splitter less than 1800M will not work 900M or 1000M will not work Remember basic rules of splitting I order to split both V&H polarities A 3x4 switch is required In yor situation I would not consider 3x4 SW  |

New member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 8 Registered: Feb-08 | So i bought a Philips Multi-switch SDW5058. Which port gets which wire? i have 3 wires for 3 lnbs. 119 is one wire. 110 is one wire. 61.5 is one wire. The five inputs are labeled. port 1 terr. port 2 18v. port 3 13v. port 4 13v/22khz. port 5 13v/22khz. where does each lnb wire go?  |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3084 Registered: Oct-06 | One sat is not one wire One sat must be 2 wires if multiple receivers is used One sat must have both polarities V&H V=13 Volts, H=18 Volts If yo don't V&H will conflict along when 2 or more receivers on at same time For best results with this receiver Each Sat/LNB must be 2 outlet Coax 1- goes to 13V other to 18V Doesn't matter which one is which Don't worry about 22k That's for DTV LNBs dish antenna Only thing to worry about Each Sat goes to 13 and 18 Volts To get both V&H on all receivers |

New member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 9 Registered: Feb-08 | Hey King Ok, i'm not the brightest guy so bare with me. Right now i got a dp34 switch hooked up with 3 wires going in and 4 out. So im going to disconnect the 3 wires going in and put them in this new switch right? |
|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3085 Registered: Oct-06 | Actually I just checked the specs on this switch This is called 5x8 Switch 2 Sats and 1-Terresterial antenna 2 sats= 4-inputs + 1-antenna I'm afraid this won't work on 3 sats 2 sats or yo share polarity on the others |
|
New member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 10 Registered: Feb-08 | ok thanks i will return it then. so which one should i buy that will work for 3 sats and 5 receivers? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3086 Registered: Oct-06 | Yor DP34 is a much better switch Yo can get another DP34 and cascade it for more receiver outputs |
|
Bronze Member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 11 Registered: Feb-08 | ok, i will get another dp34 switch. but isn't what i did pretty much the same? i hooked up 3 wires from dp34 to additional switch. then i put those 3 wires into a disceq switch. that switch is 4x1. but im getting loss on one tv and low signal. am i doing something wrong? |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3087 Registered: Oct-06 | There should be a picture on how to cascade 2 switches On DP34 The 3 coax cables on right go to 3 coax on left of the second |
|
Bronze Member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 12 Registered: Feb-08 | ok, i guess ill try that. cuz what i did was have the 3 left ones hooked up. then 4 at the bottom. then 3 at the right going into a 4x1 switch for the 5th receiver? is that different than hooking up a 2nd dp34? |
|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3088 Registered: Oct-06 | The DP34 uses a more advanced 13/18 voltage devider When yo use all DN equipment Once yo mix switches yo'll have polarity conflict 4x1 is a DISEqC (apples and oranges) |
|
Bronze Member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 13 Registered: Feb-08 | ok, thanks for your help. i really appreciate it. all these people are telling me to get different switches. so i just should get one more dp34 switch and i should be fine i guess. thanks again. |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3089 Registered: Oct-06 | Just for curiosity What kind of receivers yo got? Do yo have any TIVO/DVR? Cascading will require 1000mA i.e. at least one DN receiver must be used per switch |

Bronze Member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 14 Registered: Feb-08 | i got 2 viewsats 1 dish hd receiver and 1 dish dvr receiver. |
|
Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3091 Registered: Oct-06 | Yo should be in good shape for a second DP34 Good luck Let me know how it works for yo? Feel free to ask questions |

Bronze Member Username: NuprulesPost Number: 15 Registered: Feb-08 | ok so i hook up the dvr in the first switch. and then the hd receiver in the 2nd switch? and should i put the 1 viewsats in the 1st switch and 1 in the 2nd switch? |
|
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11251 Registered: Jun-06 | King has suggested buying a second DP34 and cascading it. You would get 7 total outputs |
