Combine signals from Dish 1000 and Dish 500

[destrada]

I did a search but couldn't find anything. I have a Dish 1000. My Austin HD locals are now available via 61.5. Can I combine the signals from my Dish 1000 with the signal from a Dish 500 pointed at 61.5 with a SW21 switch?

What type of receivers? Dual or single tuners? Number of receivers is important too.

I have a 625 and a 622. Not really worried about the 625 because SD locals were availble to me before I "moved" to San Antonio.

Alright 625 & 622 recievers. The sw 21 won't work due to its legacy switch. Do you have any switches ie dp34 or dp44

The only other switch I have is an SW44 but I don't have the power inserter that goes with it.

Since you have dual tuners receivers your best bet is to go with a 1000.2 dish. You run a cable from the 61.5 to the 1000.2 dish and run check switch on both receivers. Your other option is a DPP44 switch. The 1000.2 dish allows you to have 4 satellite locations and feed up to 3 dual tuners.

You CANNOT use legacy switches with DP lnbs or switches. So your SW44 and SW21 are out.

A dish 1000.2 can do what you want or also a DPP44. A DP34 can as well but each receiver would need 2 lines to it.

Curious.

The only way a DP34 would work is if you disable one of the SAT feeds (3 feeds in...4 out). Were you suggesting taking the 129 out of the picture?

Thanks for everyone's help.
