No, you would need a dual LNB for this - basically, satelite channels
are either horizontally or vertically polarised, and the digibox sends
a control voltage to the LNB to select the polarisation correctly.

If you have two digiboxes connected to one LNB, they will both try to
control the LNB's polarisation, and it will fail to work correctly.

the situation with half the channels working okay means that the
control voltage is not getting through - you are only seeing the
channel that are horizontally polarised.
