Can you have two dished pointed to the same satellite and combine the signals to get a nice strong signal off a normally weak signal???
Can you combine signals?

Not in a consumer application. Radio telescopes are co-phased together but there is nothing out there you could do that with at home.
Maybe some day, in some form, if an enterprising Satellite Guys member starts experimenting?

Get two identical dishes, install with perfect alignment, tracking and skew. Buy external sync reference LNBs and a frequency generator. Install with identical length and matching cables to a high quality combiner. There you have it! Something that with provide about 60-70% efficiency of simply doubling the reflector size at 10+ times the price. Maybe for bragging rights, but not the best use of my time or energy....
What we need is a dual output external sync reference LNB and then we could do it with only one dish LOL

That sounds easy enough...
Am I being a moron for saying using a bigger dish would fix weak signals? (Unless you can't i guess)
