I have a current subscription to D.N., and am looking in to adding a BEV subscription. I live in an apartment, so I consider myself lucky to have the one dish (2nd is not an option). Looking around online, I have discovered that by simply marking my dish and turning it to the east, I could switch over to BEV, and then back with the same dish500/lnb. Another idea I had was to add a third LNB, and possibly get 91, 110, and 119 on the same dish with an independent cable running from the third LNB to the BEV. Has anyone tried this setup, or could it be done? I found the following picture that suggests it can be done, but could it be done with either my dish500, or my winegard ds2076 or possibly a dish1000? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

It's possible to have them on 1 dish. You just need a dish that will handle that kind of spacing.
I've been doing it for years with this dish, the Multistar MS-85E.
A dish500 or dish1000 though won't handle that kind of spread.

How about something like this. Has anyone tried??

It'll never work. You might get 3 birds on a Dish 500, but it has no where near the width to get 5. The signals on the 2 edges will be too marginal to work effectively.
A multibracket on the Superdish would work though.
