Out here somewhere
I currently have a 1000.4 dish with a 211K hooked to the 61.5 port (I think). I want to add a 2nd 211k and run a cable to the LNB (hooked to adjacent 72.7 port).
Will this work and if so will I get all the programming that i have on the original 211K?
Thanks, Gerry

Pretty sure all outputs on that LNB feed both 61.5 and 72 combined, so yes, you could use any open port on the LNB (others please correct me if I’m mistaken)
 
Not only that, there were rumors c. Wally introduction that had the possibility of putting 16 Wally's on a single cable to a hybrid LNB or hybrid switch. To my knowledge, that was never implemented.
It works for Commercial accounts by using Channel Stack splitters, but it is limited to 8 Wally receivers per Hybrid output, since each Wally now uses two tuners.
