Below is a setup I did before I broke my leg. I initially intended to use it to receive Vietnamese channels. The motorized dish is installed on a pipe set in concrete. My question is do I need two LNBs to pick up two Sats. at same time without moving the dish? Most of the time we just watch *** and ***. and don’t want to use motor to find both Sats. If so can I install another LNB, and if I can what do I need? thanks

i think it depends on the sats but i've been thinking about getting a Multi Lnb Bracket to pick up not only Galaxy 25 ( used to be IA 5) but a circular sat as well.
I don't know if it would work so well for two linear sats, but of course that would depend on the dish and it's size/shape.
check ebay or other places, i usually search for "lnb bracket" and that usually helps, there are ones for both small and our large dishes.
Depends on where *** and *** are (in degrees).
Your current LNB has multiple outputs, but when pointed at one sat that's what you're going to receive.
So another linear LNB, and a DisEqc multiport switch would need to be installed. You might be able to shim in the 2nd lnb with something and fasten with zip ties.

Before you spend any money on fabricated mounts, you might want to specify which sats, and transponders you are looking to get other than ***.
If they are strong to begin with, your plan might work. But I'd try to shim, tape, and tie wrap an LNB inplace where you thing it might need to go as a test.
36" dish might have enough to do what you want...

I was sick for awhile sorry I did not answer this post. I don't want to fab. a mount. I thought Sadoun would have a bracket to hold a few LNB's! Below is another mount I seen,with another Co.and to give you an idea I will post the picture below.
