Not if you want even and odd transponders at the
same time.
Not exactly....

However, D* can use a stacker to run more on one
line. Not cheap like a multiswitch. Usually not
used for a single-family home, but possible. (hence
the "no" above)
But a stacker makes it possible to run both polarities on one cable, so it is good for the non-HD situation where only one LNB is needed (and this is not even true for local stations in some markets).
Does DirecTV have a stacker approach that will handle HD, where the 101 satellite's signals would be stacked to one line, the 110/119 signals would be stacked to another, and then a device that I have never heard of having been made would be able instruct the ? ? ? just which signals to send down?
I think the answer is no, not for HD. Yes, for non-HD, if there are no channels you need from 110 or 119 (Sats C and B, respectively).
