I would like to receive FTA using my Hughesnet (Direcway) .74 dish and at the same time use it for Hughesnet. The obvious solution is to use a dual output LNB. Universal LNBs are availabe, but I am having difficulty finding a dual output with a LO of 10750.
The only dual that I can find is the Invacom to use with a flange but it is quite bulky and also has the circular outputs that would be useless in this application.
Does anyone know of a source?
Thanks

There are very old two-output LNBs on some Primestars where one out is Vert and the other is Horiz only.
After hooking those two through a 2x4 or 3x4 multiswitch, you would have four outputs available.
There are also some other Invacom with linear output only . . . no, in retrospect, the only Invacom that's Standard, is the QPF-031 you mentioned.
No solution there.
Depending on the polarity needed by the DirecWay equipment, would a Dish bandstacked LNB work?
Actually, I'd be uncomfortable mixing my FTA with any other service.
We routinely discourage trying to integrate it with DishNetwork or DirecTV hardware.
I think there are better solutions than mixing FTA with DirecWay service.

Thanks for the input but:
-Would rather not go bandstacked because of possible cofiguration problems in the Hughesnet software.
-When you are a full-time RVer, you don't have the luxury of multiple dishes. It is not a mix of services. I have a automated Motosat (which is actually Hughesnet). I also have the side LNBF's for Dish Network, made for that purpose. When the dish is raised and aligned for Hughesnet service, the Dish circular LNBFs are then properly aligned.
-What I am wishing to do is use a second output on a 10750 LNB to access FTA channels that happen to be on the same sat as Hughesnet. The LNB needs to be capable of switching polarites.
-What I am trying to do is nothing more than hooking two receivers to two different outputs on an LNB. The services don't get mixed.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something
Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?
