2 DP34 Switches

[cclement]

I want to connect 2 DP34 switches together so I can have 7 outputs to my receivers. I am only using the 2 satellite inputs though, (only hooked up to a Dish 500). My question is when I "chain" the 2 switches together, do I connect all 3 lines together or do I only need the two since I only have 2 inputs?

Thanks for your help!

I'm in a frisky mood tonight. :D
Dang. That extra 6" of RG-6 and 2 connectors would force me into bankruptcy. :lol:

Actually, it doesn't matter one bit - but why not do it now? It'll protect the ports and keep you from scratching your head when you plug in a 3rd bird 2-3 years down the road.

Thanks, makes sense to me. I think I can afford that 6" of RG-6, so I'll do all three.

I just wasn't sure if it would work with the three connections and only two inputs.
