The title sounds like a pipe dream, but I'm hoping something out there exists...

I have a Monoblock 13.0E/19.2E LNB with a single output.

I want to however use the Dish on two different "receivers". Is there a piece of kit out there (other than changing the LNB) that will make this possible? Even if there are limitations?

Antenna signal and distributor – 2 in 1 technology
One distributor – 1 output and 2 inputs – two antenna signals are distributed in 1 device
Insertion as a switch: 1 input and 2 outputs: an antenna signal is distributed over 2 devices
Compatibility: for all systems: SAT, DVB-T, cable television, BK, radio, FM, also mixed
Suitable for satellite, cable TV, DVB T2 HD and VHF, HDTV, 4K, UltraHD, 3D
Technology: shielding according to class A, attenuation > 75 dB, frequency range from 5 to 2500 MHz (also suitable for SAT)

I believe there is a monoblock Unicable LNB precisely for that purpose.
You'd have to change the LNB, though....
And your receivers should support Unicable/JESS, including addressing two satellites.

You can use the loop-through of the primary receiver, I have had success with the early Technomate receivers running both fixed and motorised with this method, though ypu are tied to watching whichever satellite/polarity chosen by both.
 
Aside from the limitation (satellite and same polarity), you always have to turn on, or already have the main receiver turned on.

And that, with a bit of luck, will work with the receivers you have, because it doesn't work with all of them, but it does with others.

You'll have to try (and if both receivers have an antenna output and loop) if one doesn't work, you can swap them to try the other.

I assumed you wanted to use the two receivers independently of each other.

But this assumption has no base, I now see. There are also solutions with limitations to independent use, which is probably what you want...?

Early Technomate 5402's were transparent to the second receiver commands when in standby.
 
Yes, I also remember that there are other decoders from other brands that work the same way, the first one in standby mode.
 
For those curious. I ended up going with a much different solution (for now) as I had the kit laying around.

TBS USB dongle, into tvheadend. I then made it broadcast SAT>IP which apparently works on my receivers... however it doesn't. So reverted to an m3u8 playlist crafted with the tvheadend stream URL's which seems to work well. Not exactly what I wanted, but at least I can use 1 dish+LNB in multiple locations now (even if one at a time).
