Default Add More Receivers with a Switch

Dish Network allows you to obtain more outputs by adding a switch to your set up. The Dish Pro DP34 or the Dish Pro Plus DPP44 allow you to obtain up to 4, 8, or 12 outputs when using the switch alone or by joining multiple switches together. This is an easy way to add an extra room to your existing Dish Network set up.

Hello Katie. New member here. Do you know anything about Dish TV's DPP64 switch that they were working on at one time. I need a five satellite switch. Thanks

Charlie,

You can add another DPP44 switch using the four outputs on the right side of your current one. Just four short cables to the inputs of the second switch, and you have 4 additional lines for more receivers.

I am OK on receivers Jeff. I need another port for a fifth satellite.

I sent an email to Dish TV CEO and the Tech department inquiring about the DPP64 switch and this is the response from the Tech department.

At this time we do not have information we can release about any new equipment or switches. We understand the DPP64 switch would be a great asset to many customers. We are always looking for ways to improve our service and we appreciate your input. We will forward your comments and concerns to the proper department. We cannot guarantee this will be implemented. Thank you again for choosing Dish Network and please feel free to contact us again with any future concerns.

It looks like it's a dead project, our Dish Rep said they haven't heard anything about it in a long time.
