The Superdish is marginally big enough to receive some FTA from linear sats. There is very little FTA on the circular polarized DBS sats, so if you're really interested in using the Superdish for FTA on linear sats {probably not the case, but I'll answer as if it is}, your best bet is to forget about using a switch or adapter or anything, and just isolate the coax from the linear LNBF.
Aiming one of these things would be difficult, it will be a bit small to receive some of the weaker FTA signals, and would be really hard to motorize, but you will be able to receive some signals.
I'm pretty sure that at least some of the superdishes have separate coaxes coming from each lnbf {at least the one my neighbor had installed was connected this way}. If so, isolation of the linear lnbf should be easy. If not, and the switching and conversion is done within your multiple lnbf assembly, then this may be difficult. Either way though, this is not a very effective way to do FTA, however if you already have the Superdish which you aren't going to use for Dishnet reception, and don't mind re-aiming it away from the Dishnet sats, it can be a way to experiment with FTA without investing in a dedicated FTA dish.
If, however, you're trying to receive Dishnet channels with the Coolsat, then you are in the wrong place.
