What switch do you need to add sat 61.5 to a Dish 1000 setup? I am using a 622 reciever. Thanks!

A DP PLUS 44 will give you 4 inputs for LNB's You will need a second dish as its more then the 1000 can capture.

The dish 1000 has 3 lnbs but only one cable to the reciever. If I add a dish to get 61.5 I will have two cables I need to switch. Is there a smaller switch than the DP Plus 44 that can accomplish this?

Dish 1000 can provide signal to 2 IRD's if is has the stock DP PRO PLUS LNB on it. Some people say they have had luck with a DP 21 or DP 21+ switch to bring in a 4th bird. I have never tried it but I have done it with the DP 44 many times.
The DP 21 method will only work on one feed from the DP PRO PLUS though, if you only want to get it to one IRD its worth a try. It is less expensive then a DP 44.
