No idea why that would not work as long as you have the proper
bandwidth.
However I think there may be some two way LNB switching on the coax.

I have no experience with this, but couldn't you use a signal
amplifier out
by the dish, powered over the coax?

Or is the issue that you don't want to extend the coax?

I've run into a situation where I need to install a TV dish about 700'
away from where the TV will go because of heavy tree coverage.
There is
power and indoor space at the dish location, and there is already
fiber
run back to the house with multiple spare strands. 'People' I've
talked
to, say this is too far for a coax run. Searching online, it looks
like
there are some fiber options. Dish network branded or a company
called
'Dawnco', but the equipment is about the same price in the $6000+
range
for a 4lnb setup. Anyone come across a cheaper way to do it? 80 year
old-Non-technical users, so need to maintain the DISH STB, no fancy
streaming solutions. The dish today is about 250' away from the house
on coax, and it will drop out in the slightest rain because of the
signal loss over the coax.
