Two-way Splitter –

You can buy a one-way power pass splitter so you can connect two boxes to a single LNBF.

Because you will send power from one set-top box, not from both. But in this case, you have to power on both set-top boxes to run same time. So it is not recommended and also not simple to install. Note – by using the splitter trick, you will get signals from one polarity. It is useful for free dish connection only because it uses Vertical polarity only.
