Why would I ever need a 44 switch?

Thanks

44

well for one thing the dpp44 can stack you can put two tuners on one coax can't do that with a dp34 no matter how many you have also a dpp44 can do 4 satellites a dp34 can handle 3.

2 tuners?

You mean 1 coax to family room to drive both tuners of a 942?

Can you run cable and satellite down the single coax from the DPP44 like you can with the DPP34?

 

[Dish Dude]

yes, that is correct, you can even backfeed back over that single cable with a properly rated diplexor

Yes, 1 cable to feed both tuners on the 942 with a DP44 and a DishPro separator.

The only good reason would be for 4 satellites as the DPP44 cost $180 new. The only other reason might be to use the DPP separators but you can also cascade up to three DP34 for 12 outputs if needed. The DPP44 can also be cascaded.

44's have been going for $40-$60 on ebay. I picked one up for $48 the other day.

Ain't no such thing as a DPP34, but yes, you can diplex any of them.

Where did you guys acquire all this knowledge? Is there some magical source that you absorb endless amounts of information? If so, point me in that direction.

Most of the guys are in the industry installing or running an install company. some are just really educated consumers
