DP44 and two DishPro500 dishes

[mgandalf]

Hi, I'm looking to add a second DishPro500 dish to my system and potentially hook it up to a DP44 along with my existing DishPro500 - both having the twin LNBFs with built in switches. I know that one Dish500 connected to a DP44 is supported on ports 1 and 2, but is a second supported on 3 and 4 as well?

Thanks, Mark.

Well, I see nobody knows or wants to comment.

After some research, I've found the answer to be yes. Any combination of dual, twin or quad will work on the DP44/DP34 as long as the LNBs are DishPro. The twin and quad LNB heads, although contain built-in switches, have ports which default to certain switch positions. So, the DP44/DP34 won't send DiSEqC to the LNB head so these ports just stay defaulted to either 110 or 119.
