Yes I use them all the time, if I can as they seem hotter than Legacy for the same use. However I stay clear of the DDP for FTA use. DDP just require a little more Amperage than Legacy or DP.

Thanks guys
why would you want to use a diseqc switch unless it was a dp 34 or dp44? ,i use a ddp+ for my ultra and dreambox hitting 3 sats .

I would also recommend the DP 34 They work Great.
If asking if they work with cheap Diseqc's YES, but sure would go the DP switch
route.

well A friend is wanting me to hook her up to Nfusion and she is now testing CW. She tells me that her dishes are only a year or so old so they are most likely dp lnb. I have never played with this type of lnb yet. she is only testing 119/110 and has a few receivers running. So she may have a dp34 installed. I am going to tie the second dish in for her to the FTA's.
Thanks for the replies guys now I know what I can do after I see whats there.

I had a look at the hardware. We have a dp twin dual or quad (couldn't tell with out taking it apart) for 110/119 and on the other dish I will have to change the lnb to a dp for it's a legacy. I want to tie the other dish into the fta system. That is is running to sub receivers. The one line will go straight to sub off LNB and the other line I will tie into the switch. I am thinking DP34. The dp 34 will run 2 CW and a nfusion and a sub receiver. Will the sub still work doing this?
What do you guys think will it work?
So

2 leads

2 leads will have to come out of the DP Twin if your going to the DP 34 because once you go to a sw with the DPTwin or Quad it kill the built-in sw
