i think you need a dpp44 switch run your 2 lines to the inputs & you will have 4 outputs...

Ah yes young grasshopper but why pay $180 for a DP44 when you can pickup a DP 34 switch instead. Then all you have to do is run a dual feed off the lnb quad to the 34 and reroute the 4 feeds on the lnb to the 34 switch out ports. This will leave you room on the quad for an additional dual tuner or your 510 and another sinle tuner!

If the head on the dish is a DishProPlus. It is a twin, not a quad. There are probably two lines running from the dish. If there are four lines that it is a DP quad. Get the DPP 44 switch instead because not only can you run new receivers off it, but if you pick up an old receiver somewhere you can run off it too. If you have a DPP Twin on your dish you do not want to use it on a 34 switch because it could possibly burn the switch out.

Yea, I was going to say I've never heard of DPP Quad. They do have DP Quads?? I have seen the 2 output, 1 input twins. Well w/ a DPP Twin LNB and using DPP44 switch, you need two outputs from the lnb to the switch and 1 run of RG6 to each receiver in the house. At each receiver, you'll need the "seperator" to feed both tuners. If you have a DP quad(if such exists) or a DP twin, run 2 feeds to a DP34 switch, use the 4 outputs on that to feed your existing receiver and then connect a 2nd DP34 an run 2 new feeds to the new DVR (of course if it is in fact a DP quad, you could connect the 2 unused feeds from the lnb an run them straight to the new receiver and only need the 1 DP34, in theory it should work but I've never heard of such).


After checking, they do have DP Quad's. A DP Quad is almost overkill when using a DP34 or 44 switch.
