I feed fore box's with one LMB but it is a quad on sly. I feed two receivers other with a double socket LMB. A single won't work, So can't see a problem.
Best of luck. :cheers2:

If you have loop through facility on the two receivers you can feed both with the same input from one lnb. But there are drawbacks, the first receiver in the chain will control polarisation. That means to view two different channels on the two receivers they have to be channels on the same polarisation i.e either vertical or horizontal.

The answer should have been YES. However, one receiver would became a Master and the other a Slave. As renibacterium rightly pointed out, the Master will control polarity but if only one receiver is used at a time, then all is well.
