I think you misunderstood me. You would require a different receiver for each channel you desired. What this would do is assign channel numbers for the television to each channel and combine them into one cable and the TV would change channels. So if you wanted 2 V channels you would need 2 receivers. 1 for each channel. Add 2 H channels and you need 2 more receivers. You could assign channel 5 to the first V channel, channel 6 to the second, channel 7 to the first H and so on. Now when you change the TV to channel 7 you get the first H channel from your FTA receivers in your mini cable system.
BUT again I do believe it best to feed each receiver with a seperate lnbf so that defeats the single coax deal only due to signal degradation.
Basically this concept builds a cable system. You would never touch the receivers once tuned to a channel you desired. Changing channels is handled by the TV. You also require a seperate dish for each sat you wish to receive.
