Yes. Depends on what type of Dish500 lnbf you have, it will be easy or more complicated to make it work.
Check out the lnbf to see what type it is:
1. If you see there are 2 saperate lnbfs, then you have 2 single legacy lnbf, they are both connected to an external SW21 switch.
2. If you see there is a big lnbf, you have:
a. Legacy twin lnbf, the switch is built in.
b. Dishpro twin lnbf, the switch is built in.
In case #1, you just simply use a switch (Diseqc, 0/12, or 22khz) to switch between these 2 lnbfs.
In case #2, the built-in SW 21 can be controlled by Diseqc command, but it'll be very complicated to make it works. It'll be a long post to explain how to make it work.
In case #3, the Dishpro lnbf is a "stack-band" lnbf which understand Diseqc command. It can be controlled by the receiver using Diseqc but need to shift-up some certain freq. "Stack-band" approach uses 2 LO for switch, the way it works is similar to universal lnbf. One thing is different is all the transponders are now in V.
Anyways, if my post confuse you, forget what I said. Let us know what type of your lnbf is, we'll work from there.

Can I use the LNBF on my FTA dish to act as a circular LNBF? |
