I have been reading and looking for an answer but the information here is limited. If anyone can point me in the right direction I need to know how to set up a DP34 with 2 single DP LNBs.
My System is a
1. Dual Core AMD 1.2 +1.2
2. Video Card is a Nvidia Gfroce 6500 256 ram
3. I have 2 DP LNBs mounted on a single Dish 500
4. I have a DP34
5. Twinhan 102G
6. The latest version of DD
What I need to know is how to set up the LNBs there is nothing that I can find that says anything on DP34 and single DP LNBs. I can scan and get a lot of channels but not getting them all. What I have done so fare is to pick none for switch and put 119 on then 110 using defaults for both. I have tried to use mini switch and 1.0 and 2.0 using defaults setting on all. Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Jim

you need to configure DD to use DISEqC 1.0 or 2.0 switch, then connect 110 and 119 INI files to proper inputs of DISEqC switch (the same order as you connected your LNBs to DP34).
Then configure your LNBs as NA Dandstacked DP Ku-Hi with default LOFs (11250 and 14350).
Raw diseqc command = empty.
22kHz = Off.
Uncommitted = disabled.

Then you have to provide enough power to the DP34 (either power inserter, or DP receiver to one of the outputs). DVB-s card alone could fail to provide power to this assembly.

Thank you for the information I will try to night Iam using a DP ird on one of the ports to power DP34 will that work I left it on check switch. Jim

The only way to switch OFF DP receiver is to unplug it from AC plug.
It's always tuned to some "usual" transponders, even you switch it OFF with a remote.
Thus, it could download EPG and new FW while you are not watching TV.
If you forgot to switch receiver off and it happened to be tuned to one of the channels on a "wrong" TP, your EPG would be only 2 hours long (2 hours EPG is carried on every TP).
24 hours (and 7 days) EPGs are on few specific transponders, and you have to be tuned to them to receive EPG.
This is exactly what's happening when you switch receiver Off with you remote: green LED goes off, and receiver retunes itself to TP with EPG.
When you switch it On again, it retunes back to the last channel.

Thus, LNB power never goes OFF.
And you "check switch mode" approach is NOT necessary
