not enough coaxial cables

[Hoss]

Hi,
I currently have a triple LNB dish for my directv with a total of three coaxial connections outside my house. I would like to install another dish outside in order to pick up some FTA programming. It is basically impossible for me to add another line from outside - so my question is can I somehow run two satellite signals through one coaxial cable? Would a diplexer work for that or would I need some other sort of device? Thanks for the help.

NO, a diplexer is meant for the combination of SAT and OTA, not two SAT signals.

Using a stacker may solve your problem. It changes the down converter frequency to a different band so it doesn't interfere with the regular L-band signal.

You could also put both recievers in utility room /basement wherever your cable runs in and split the feed from there. Use a remote extemder to run the recievers.
This would be cheaper if you want fta on 1 tv .
You can't do wall fishes to run wire?
