Using one cable to carry 61.5,119,110 for two receivers

[Kazunari Honjo]

My present setup is two dish 300's(119 & 61.5) whose outputs are combined by SW21, one cable is run to house and one receiver used.
Upgrade I want to do is to add ability to tune in programs from 110 and 2) by two receivers. My plan to do it is as follows:
1) Replace Dish 300 currently used for 119 with Dish 500 Twin Legacy
2) Using SW21, combine one of the two outputs from Dish 500 with that from the present Dish 300 for 61.5, and run the combined signal through one cable to inside house.
3) At the end of the cable in the house the combined signal is split into two ways and fed to two receivers.

Is the above workable? If it is, then what particular signal splitter device should be used?. I saw one at my local Fry's store which indicates frequency coverage is 40MHz to 2500MHz and DC pass capability to the both legs. Will this work?

You can't split the line to take two irds, with the older equipment.. New irds with dual tuners 111, 311, 322, 511, 522, 811, 921 are single line capable.

The entire Dish Network system was designed on purpose, to only work with Charlie brand switchs. More money in their pockets and to keep others from trying to do their work.
Though the generic noncharlie called the Microyal was snuck by without them being sued, so far.

Thanks for your response.

Does this means that these recevers have only one input and thus a signal splitting circuitry is built in to feed the two tuners?

This is an eazy fix...
since your getting a dish twin lagacy, just use 2 sw21 switches one from 61.5 into input 2 on switch and 119,110 into input #1
then duplicate this for #2 output on twin.

Thanks for your post.
Since my original post to create this thread I have done quite a bit of research and have concluded there is no way to do it with only one cable between the antenna and the two receivers either with legacy or DP hardwares. According to advanced info on DP Plus hardwares it appears feasible to do with a single cable if DP Plus version of a dual tuner receiver is used.

Thanks for the link. I find it very instructive for me.

Legacy you have to run 2 cables same with dp. You can do one cable with DPP with a dpp-44 switch ands a dpp seperator. Dish is also coming out with a DPP twin.
However there are software issues with the DPP equipment, that are supposed to be worked out by the end of the month. 8)

Thanks for your response.
So I had better wait a while untill the software is completely debugged.
