Full time RVer
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.
