In the picture you have two receivers connected to the LNB ports 1 and 2. I have only 1 VS Ultra. Can this IRD be connected to this setup by itself?

Re: DP Plus LNB's Picture
I have looked all over the forums for an answer and could not find it. This is the set up I have at home with two subs. Can I remove a sub and use one of the cables with an FTA receiver and if so what setting would I use? Thanks in advance.

Re: DP Plus LNB's Picture
Yes you can... both lines carry both sat's 110 and 119. Just go to the menu settings and set both 110 and 119 individually. You should scan both sat's separately and you don't have to specify disec settings. There isn't one being used...

Re: DP Plus LNB's Picture
Grasshopper,
Can I hook the reciever feeds into a DP34 and run two DP301' and my Visionsat out of my DP34 receiver ports. My understanding is that the Dish Plus LNB's and DP34 are true Disec. I know the LNB's have switches built in. I am picking up DN 110 and 119 on a Dish 500 through a DP34 to three DP301's. I just wanted to run the FTA off the switch until I Get the 31" dish with the Invacom Quad LNB, with a motor set up. I wanted to learn the box and then introduce the motorized dish.
