ACtually, the LNBs on the primestar will also work as that was linear. The only thing is that most of those primestar dishes have two feeds from the LNBs. One is vertical and one is horizontal. But a good diseq switch will work great with an FTA receiver. Just scan both positions on the switch and you'll have the whole satellite covered.
There are still some in people's yards that they will gladly give away to have them removed.
